The technique commonly used to open an adult victim's airway is the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. This involves tilting the head back slightly by placing one hand on the victim's forehead and using the other hand to lift the chin forward. This action helps to lift the tongue away from the back of the throat, allowing air to flow into the airway. It's important to avoid this method if there is a suspected spinal injury, in which case a jaw-thrust maneuver may be more appropriate.
