Practical Applications

Basic Airway Management

Keeping the Airway Open

A blocked airway is life-threatening. EMRs use simple methods to keep air flowing.

Techniques

  • Head-Tilt/Chin-Lift: For non-trauma patients.
  • Jaw-Thrust: For trauma patients with possible spinal injuries.
  • Recovery Position: Place unconscious but breathing patients on their side.

Real-World Use

Practice with a partner to master these skills so you’re ready in any emergency.

Examples

  • Using the jaw-thrust maneuver for a car crash victim.

  • Placing an unconscious friend in the recovery position after fainting.
