    Normally somewhere just below 800. If my asthma is playing up it falls to around 550 and I get some meds ;-)

    Yes, on account of being asthmatic and having to check it reasonably regularly.

    As with GHill it's a f**k-sight better when I'm managing my inhalers properly.

    It's the maximum volume of air you can exhale in litres / min.

    Last time I used a peak flow meter it went to the stop. The doc just looked at me :)

    Peak flows depend on your size and age. I think above 650/700 is usually pretty good. If you are under 500 then you are probably under medicated. Do not take this as fact, just from a long term astmatic. Kids will be likely to preform worse.

    About a litre a second on a good day, when I'm not dehydrated :D
