Use those speacial reading graphs

You should have a hydrograph to look at.

Look at the curve on this graph, the highest point on this curve is the peak flow.

It cannot be calculated, just read off a graph.

Peak Flow = Tidal Volume x 60 / I-time

How is peak flow affected by a heart attack?

Peak flow is interrupted by heart attack. Peak flow is realized when all systems are go, the action of the unimpeded vessels and the blood being pumped by the heart. When the heart stops as in an attack, this flow is greatly diminished. The injured heart may never again regain the peak flow.

Does smoking effect your peak flow?

smoking affcets the peak flow reading, as the lung performance is affcetd by the high level of mucus on the lungs and airways, when breathing.


What another name for peak flow meter?

Another name for a peak flow meter is a peak expiratory flow meter (PEFM). This device is used to measure the maximum speed of expiration, helping to monitor lung function, especially in individuals with asthma or other respiratory conditions.


How does a cold affect peak flow?

Asthma affects peak flow because it obstructs the breathing which means that you cannot breathe out as much as somebody else. Asthma causses a reduction in peak flow ... this is a solid indicator of how severe your asthma is becoming.... Peak flow is a measurement that is indicative of the patency of the large airways..... If you are having bronchospasm .... The airways are highly wrapped with smooth muscle that contract and decrease the diameter of the airway ... reducing the flow of air that you are capable of exhaling....

How do you calculate peak force?

Peak force can be calculated by dividing the peak load (the maximum force experienced during the movement) by the area over which the force is distributed. This can be determined by using a force sensor or load cell to measure the force and then calculating the peak force using the formula: Peak force = Peak load / Area.


Why is avaraging the readings of the peak expiratory flow rate not recommended?

Averaging peak expiratory flow rate readings is not recommended because it may mask fluctuations that could be important for diagnosing and managing conditions such as asthma. It is more beneficial to monitor the peak flow variability to better understand how the condition is progressing and to tailor treatment accordingly. Individual peak flow readings can provide valuable insights into a person's respiratory health that may be obscured by averaging.
