What is PFR Full Form in Medical?

PFR Full Form in Medical is Peak Flow Rate. It is a measure of how quickly a person can exhale air, typically used in assessing respiratory conditions such as asthma. This measurement helps in monitoring lung function and determining the effectiveness of treatment.

USEAGE:

Peak flow meters are useful for people with moderate-to-severe asthma. It measures how open the bronchi are in your lungs. Your peak flow may drop even before you have an asthma attack. If your peak flow declines, your asthma can be getting worse.

PROCEDURE:

Either sit or stand erect. Breathing deeply could be easier when standing up. Whichever method you decide on, be sure to utilize a peak flow meter in this manner each time. Verify that the marker is at the meter’s bottom. Breathe deeply until your lungs are full, then hold it. In addition to your chest muscles, a deep breath will also move your abdominal (belly) muscles. Close your lips firmly after putting your mouth around the mouthpiece. To prevent air from escaping around the mouthpiece’s outside, make sure your lips form a seal. In a single exhalation, forcefully and quickly expel all of the air from your lungs. Using the marker, write the number on the metre.
