Airway Management

 

As a Health Care Professional there are times when you will be called on to manage the airway of a patient who is unable to do so on their own.

 

In most cases, and anytime you do not have 2 or more HCPs available you will utilize a head-tilt-chin-lift.

 

 

However, if you are in a health care setting (hospital, clinic, ambulance, etc.) and you suspect your patient has a cervical spinal injury use a Modified Jaw Thrust to manage the airway.
