If your friend had fallen and you suspected a head neck or spinal injury which airway-management technique would have performed?
Jaw Thrust
- The jaw thrust is a technique used to open the airway of an unconscious person.
- It involves placing two fingers on the person's lower jaw and firmly pushing it forward until their chin is pointing upwards.
- This position helps to keep the airway open and prevent the tongue from blocking it.
- The jaw thrust should be performed if you suspect that someone has suffered a head, neck, or spinal injury.
- It is also the recommended airway-management technique for unconscious people who are not breathing or have difficulty breathing.
