A peak flow test primarily measures the maximum speed of expiration, indicating how well air is moving out of the lungs. While it primarily assesses Asthma control, it can also help identify other respiratory conditions, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or bronchitis. Additionally, variations in peak flow readings can indicate worsening airway obstruction or the presence of an exacerbation, guiding treatment decisions. Regular monitoring can also reveal patterns related to environmental triggers or medication effectiveness.
