- instruct pt to record peak flow every day, morning and afternoon, for 2-3
weeks during period when asthma is under control
- single highest measurement recorded is personal best
- process should be repeated occasionally to identify changes
, MEP indicating poor ability to clear airway secretions?

- turbine device: measures flow, and may display volume
- pressure differential (Fleisch) pneumotachometer: measures flow; can
be used to continuously measure minute ventilation
