You have to extend the neck of the patient to make the airway patent, along with the lifting of the jaw. When the neck injury is suspected you can not extend the neck. In such case you can go for emergency tracheotomy. You can put a very large bore needle of say 12 bore, above the cricoid cartilage to provide the air.
