A common question we are often asked is “What’s a peak flow meter?”

A peak flow air meter is an easy to use, portable device that can measure how much air you’re able to expel from your lungs and is a good indicator on how well a person’s asthma is being controlled.

By blowing air into the device, the peak air flow meter can measure the force of the air in litres per minute and present you a reading based on a numbered scale. Peak flow meters are regularly prescribed to people with asthma to help them keep track of their asthma control.

Using a peak air flow meter can help keep track of the airway narrowing even before any symptoms are presented. This allows a person to adjust any medication before symptoms get worse.

For more information about “What’s a peak flow meter?” and the peak flow test, see the NHS website.

Before starting, you should stand up if possible unless you’ve been advised not to by your doctor.

• Slide the pointer down to the bottom of the sale at the end where you blow in.

• Hold the meter on its edge in front of you with the scale away from your hand. Ensure that your fingers are clear of the scale and that you do not obstruct the holes at the end of the meter.

• Breathe in as deeply as possible. Holding your breath, place the mouthpiece well into your mouth and seal your lips firmly around it. Keep your head upright.

• Blow as HARD and FAST as you can for second or for as long as possible. Be careful not to block the mouthpiece with your tongue or teeth. A “spitting” action will give falsely high readings.

• Your peak flow reading is shown on the scale against the pointer. Take a note of the corresponding meter reading and also the colour band in which the reading is applicable before sliding the pointer back to the bottom of the scale.

The score displayed will depend on your age, height and gender. Your GP or asthma nurse will have more info on what is considered a normal score and how to read a peak flow meter.
