What is the best way to open the airway of an unresponsive victim with a suspected neck injury?

If you think the person may have a spinal injury, place your hands on either side of their head and use your fingertips to gently lift the angle of the jaw forward and upwards, without moving the head, to open the airway. Take care not to move the person's neck. But opening the airway takes priority over a neck injury.

How do you open the airway of an unresponsive victim who has no injuries?

When a person is unresponsive, their muscles relax and their tongue can block their airway so they can no longer breathe. Tilting their head back opens the airway by pulling the tongue forward. If they are breathing, you will see their chest moving and you may hear their breath or feel it on your cheek.

What technique should you use to open the airway of an unresponsive victim with spinal injury?

Open their airway using the jaw-thrust technique. To do this, put your fingertips at the angles of the jaw and gently lift the jaw to open the airway. Do not tilt their neck. Check the casualty's breathing.
