If neck injury is suspected what should you avoid when checking the airway?
Avoid moving the head. The head should be kept as you found it if there is a suspected neck injury.
What steps should you follow to when preforming the jaw thrust airway technique on a suspected head neck or spinal injury victim?
(The nasopharyngeal airway device is another method to insure the airway is open.) Grasp the angles of the victim's lower jaw and lift with both hands, one on each side, displacing the jaw forward and up. Your elbows should rest on the surface where the victim is lying. If the lips close, the lower lip can be opened with your thumb. If mouth-to-mouth is necessary, close the nostrils by placing your cheek against them. The victims head should be carefully supported without tilting it backwards or turning it from side to side. If this is unsuccessful, the head should be tilted back very slightly. The jaw-thrust is the safest approach to opening the airway of a victim who has a possible neck injury because it can be accomplished without extending the neck.

when you suspect that there maybe a possible head/neck injury, just to the jaw thrust, not the head-tilt-chin-lift thing. if ever there's a neck injury, it's better prioritize your patient's airway first rather than the neck injury.
