Peak Expiratory Flow Rate, the maximum flow achieved during a forced expiration
Peak expiratory flow rate. The maximum flow of air at the outset of forced expiration, which is reduced in proportion to the severity of airway obstruction, as in asthma. Also peak flow rate or peak expiratory flow.

Peak expiratory flow rate. The maximum rate at which an individual subject can expel air from the lungs using as much force as possible. It is a good indication of the degree of obstruction to air flow.
Peak expiratory flow rate, the greatest flow that can be sustained for 10 milliseconds on forced expiration starting from full inflation of the lungs. It is measured in liters per minute using a Wright Peak Flow Meter or Mini-Wright Meter.
Peak Expiratory Flow Rate. the fastest speed a person can expel air from the lungs after talking in as big a breath as possible.
