Patients over five years of age will benefit from regular monitoring of their PEF with a Peak Flow Meter this determines how open the airways are at any given moment and helps in asthma management.

This number is part of your child’s Asthma Action Plan. You need to know your child's personal best peak flow number to help control your child's asthma. However, scores can vary from person to person and what may be normal for you, may. Your child's peak flow tells you and your child's doctor how well your child's lungs are working. Normal adults peak flow scores range between 400 and 700 litres per minute. Upon diagnosis, clinicians should educate patients in self-management of their asthma and chart an Action Plan to also include a Peak Flow Meter. The aim of this study is to present normal PEFR and to establish a PEFR equation for Thai children living in a suburban environment. Peak flow is how fast your child breathes out air after taking a deep breath. It is important that patients consult their Clinicians/Specialist Nurses about what their personal best PEF is or should be, to provide a point of reference for tracking.
