To interpret the significance of peak expiratory flow measurements, a comparison is made to reference (normal, predicted) values based on measurements taken from the general population. Various reference values have been published in the literature and vary by population, ethnic group, age, sex, height and weight of the patient.
Normal values for peak expiratory flow (PEF), shown on EU scale. [ 21 ] Peak expiratory flow (PEF) is the maximal flow (or speed) achieved during the maximally forced expiration initiated at full inspiration, measured in liters per minute or in liters per second.

The healthy human body will alter minute volume in an attempt to maintain physiologic homeostasis. A normal minute volume while resting is about 5–8 liters per minute in humans. [1] Minute volume generally decreases when at rest, and increases with exercise. For example, during light activities minute volume may be around 12 litres.
For example, maximum inspiratory flow is denoted FIF max. Unless otherwise specified, volume qualifiers indicate the volume inspired from RV at the point of measurement.) PEF: Peak expiratory flow: The highest forced expiratory flow measured with a peak flow meter: MVV
If You Have a Normal BMI, You Don’t Have to Worry. There’s a common assumption that weight alone is a reliable indicator of overall health, says Mascha Davis, M.P.H., ...
Pulmonary function testing (PFT) is a complete evaluation of the respiratory system including patient history, physical examinations, and tests of pulmonary function. The primary purpose of pulmonary function testing is to identify the severity of pulmonary impairment. [1]
