[Diagnosis of lung function in bronchial asthma]
Abstract
Chronic obstructive airway diseases have only slight demand on lung function diagnostics according to the number of methods and technical level. But we have the demand of a high rate of lung function, more than in all other lung diseases. The expiratory peak flow (PEF) seems to be a suitable parameter for daily control.
