PEFR (Peak Expiratory Flow Rate) is the measurement recorded by a peak flow meter. CT (Computed Tomography) and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test) are other types of respiratory tests but do not specifically measure peak expiratory flow rate. ABG (Arterial Blood Gas) is a test that measures the levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood and PET (Positron Emission Tomography) is a type of imaging test used to diagnose diseases.
