Technique for peak flow measurement in asthma

Technique for peak flow measurement in asthma
Move peak flow meter indicator to zero.
Sit or stand up straight.
Take in a deep breath, as deep as you can.
Place peak flow meter in your mouth and close your lips around the mouthpiece*.
As soon as your lips are sealed around mouth piece, blow out as hard and fast as you can using your chest and belly muscles. This should take no more than 2 seconds.
Write down the result.
Repeat two more times (three total).
Record the highest of the three values.
* Nose clips are not necessary.
¶ Make sure to use all of your breathing muscles, not just your mouth muscles. This needs a lot of force, like blowing out a candle several feet away.
