PEFR (peak expiratory flow rate) is the most frequently used pulmonary measurement in the home setting. It is a simple test that can be done with a handheld device (peak flow meter), and it provides a quick and easy way to monitor changes in lung function in conditions such as asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The other options (SVC, MVV, FEF 25-75%) are more complex measurements that are typically done in a clinical setting with specialized equipment.
