Overview / Abstract: |
Peak flow and spirometry readings offer important clinical information for pharmacists caring for patients with COPD and Asthma. When taken in conjunction with the Asthma Clinical Pharmacist Series, this course will provide pharmacists with an appreciation of the use of peak flow and spirometry test results when monitoring drug therapy. In this course, pharmacists will observe both spirometry and peak flow testing, review pulmonary function test results, and be prepared to teach patients how to monitor peak flow at home. At the conclusion of the module, learners will be able to recognize normal spirometry and peak flow readings, instruct patients on proper use of hand-held peak flow meters; and coach patients and caregivers to better monitor peak flow rate at home.
