Comparison of peak expiratory flow and FEV1 admission criteria for acute bronchial asthma.
One hundred nine episodes of acute bronchial asthma were studied utilizing PEFR and FEV1 measurements to determine objective patient disposition criteria. Of patients with both a pre-treatment PEFR less than 100 L/min, and a post-treatment value less than 300 L/min, 92% required admission or had an unsuccessful OPD course. Of patients with a pre-treatment PEFR less than 100 L/min and an improvement less than 60 L/min after initial terbutaline, 85% were admitted or had problems after discharge. PEFR correlated well with FEV1 at all stages of treatment.
