Obtain
the normal predicted average peak expiratory flow based
on the patient's height for children and adolescents (less
than 20 years of age). Enter the measured personal best peak
flow and the percent of predicted will be calculated as well.
An acceptable peak flow in the "Green Zone" is more
than 80% of predicted.
Patient
height in the data table ranges from 43" to 67".
Data
from Polgar G, Promadhat V. Pulmonary Fuction Testing in
