Dispozitivul pe care părinții copiilor cu astm ar trebui să-l cunoască! Mihai Craiu explică regula „semaforului”

Pediatrician Mihai Craiu discusses the importance of using a peak flowmeter for asthma patients, helping to distinguish between a common cold and an asthma attack. This portable device measures the maximum expiratory flow rate, providing objective data on respiratory function. Results are categorized into three zones: green indicates normal function, yellow signals caution, and red requires immediate medical attention. Proper usage involves taking multiple measurements to ensure accuracy. The peak flowmeter serves as a valuable tool for monitoring asthma, but it should complement medical evaluations and individual action plans established with healthcare providers.
