jaw-thrust maneuver Explanation: The jaw-thrust maneuver is a first aid and medical procedure used to prevent the tongue from obstructing the upper airways. This maneuver and the head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver are two of the main tools of basic airway management, and they are often used in conjunction with other basic airway techniques including bag-valve-mask ventilation. The jaw-thrust maneuver is often used on patients with cervical neck problems or suspected cervical spine injury.[1] The maneuver is used on a supine patient. It is performed by placing the index and middle fingers to physically push the posterior aspects of the lower jaw upwards while their thumbs push down on the chin to open the mouth. When the mandible is displaced forward, it pulls the tongue forward and prevents it from obstructing the entrance to the trachea https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaw-thrust_maneuver#:~:text=It... What to Do for a Suspected C-Spine Injury If you’re trained in rescue breathing, use the jaw-thrust maneuver rather than the head-tilt chin-lift maneuver to keep the neck in a neutral position. https://www.mayoclinic.org/first-aid/first-aid-spinal-injury... |

spinal head hold Explanation: Not very many occurrences on the web, but the description is identical: Spinal head hold This is an instant temporary 'splint' for the victim's neck when a spinal injury is suspected. Hold the victim's head with both your forearms with your thumbs 'locked' over their collar bones, keeping the head, neck and spine completely still and in line. https://books.google.de/books?id=DkU3DwAAQBAJ&pg=PT32#v=onep... |
