“…Although there are significant differences in accuracy between meters, reproducibility and interdevice variability are relatively consistent between different devices. 15 Two additional questionnaires were used. One was completed at the start of the study and covered such items as the past history of the child's asthma, medication use, and potential allergens or triggers in the home.…”

Objective: To determine if aerially spraying a biological pesticide was associated with an increase in the symptoms or change in the Peak Expiratory Flow Rate of children with asthma. Methods: A pre/post matched pairs cohort design was used. Children living in the spray zone were matched with children outside of the spray zone. Peak Expiratory Flow Rates, asthma symptoms and non-asthma symptoms were recorded in diaries. Results: There were no differences in asthma symptom scores between subjects and controls, neither before nor after the spray; nor were there significant changes in Peak Expiratory Flow Rates for subjects after the spray period.

“…Otro estudio reciente demostraba la fiabilidad de los medidores tipo mini-Wright a lo largo de 5 años, después de ser usado en mas de 2.000 ocasiones y restringir su recambio a casos de obvio mal funcionamiento 7 . Existe acuerdo generalizado de que al recambiar un medidor debe hacerse por otro del mismo fabricante ya que puede darse una escasa concordancia entre las diferentes marcas 8,9 .…”

La medida del flujo espiratorio máximo (FEM)-peak expiratory flow (PEF) en terminología anglosajona-mediante medidores portátiles, constituye una de las herramientas más útiles y accesibles para la valoración de la función pulmonar de asmáticos en las consultas de Atención Primaria. Tras definir el FEM y revisar las características de los medidores y las ventajas e inconvenientes de esta técnica en relación con la espirometría forzada, se discuten posteriormente las indicaciones para su uso con fines diagnósticos, de control evolutivo a corto y largo plazo y para crisis asmáticas.
