Airway

Open the Airway:
Use the Head-Tilt Chin-Lift Maneuver.

Reasons for Opening the Airway:
Opening the airway, removes the tongue from blocking the airway. When a patient is unresponsive, lying on his or her back, the large tongue can fall back into the mouth and prevent proper airflow. By correctly positioning the head, you are helping to displace the tongue and open up the airway.
