Abstract:

Chronic airway diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma, pose a great burden to the global public health system due to their increasing morbidity and mortality. Inhaled therapy is an effective means for the treatment of chronic airway diseases, and the correct selection and use of inhalation devices is an indispensable part of the management of chronic airway diseases. However, how to choose suitable inhalation devices for patients has always been a problem for clinicians. Peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR) has been recommended as an important step in the process of individualized inhalation device selection by Chinese Guidelines for the diagnosis and management of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Therefore, this review will summarize the current research progress of PIFR measurement in chronic airway diseases, and discuss its guiding significance in the treatment of chronic airway diseases.

Key words: Tracheal diseases, Pulmonary disease, chronic obstructive, Asthma, Peak inspiratory flow rate
