How do you ensure open airways:
Correct answer
- I tilt the head back slightly and lift the lower jaw upwards, eventually clear the mouth of foreign bodies (vomit, blood..).
Other options
- I grab the injured person's tongue and try to pull it out of the oral cavity.
- I tilt their head forward.
Explanation
Head-Tilt, Chin-Lift: This simple manoeuvre lifts the tongue away from the back of the throat.
