Peak flow is measured using a hand held instrument called a peak flow meter. When you blow down the meter it measures the speed of the air as it passes through the hollow centre of the meter; there is a scale in litres per minute (abbreviated to l/min). This is an indication of how well the lungs and airways are doing. A peak flow meter is an important part of an asthma home-monitoring plan.
