title: An evaluation of two inexpensive instruments for assessing airway flow.
abstract: Studies indicate the Mini-Wright Peak Flow Meter and Pulmonary Monitor have potential utility to patients for assessing airway flow drops typical of intermittent airway disease, that instrument calibration remains stable with moderate use but that neither is able to predict absolute Peak Expiratory Flow Rate with sufficient accuracy.
