use the nasopharyngeal airway
What is your question?
Hi, Depending on if you have received level of first aid training this will depend.If you have basic or no training your aim is to keep the patient alive regardless of any suspected or obvious spinal injury. Therefore you should move the neck to keep the airway open and clear.However, if you have received first aid training in the 'jaw thrust', which is where you are showing how how to open the airway with minimal damage caused to the spine.REMEMBER BY READING FIRST AID INSTRUCTIONS DOES NOT CLASSIFY YOU AS A FIRST AIDER. YOU SHOULD ATTEND A FIRST AID COURSE.
For suspected neck or back injury use the jaw thrust method to open the airway; you are correct.
Look for TICS: Tenderness, Instability, Crepitus (grinding/grating noise heard from bone rubbing on bone) and Swelling. Above all do not allow the patient to move unless ABSOLUTELY necessary! If the patient complains of a sore neck, head or back, believe them no matter what may have caused them to be injured. Keep the patient awake and talking.
control the C-spine first
Place elbows on the same ground as the victim's head.
rest your elbows on the same surface on which the patient is lying

A backtroller is a person who fishes by backtrolling, trolling with a boat's motor in reverse, therefore minimizing the movement of a boat.
Rest your elbows on the same surface in which the victim is lying.The naso-pharyngeal airway device is another way to insure the airway is open.
If you believe that you are going to have a bowel movement that may be longer then normal, you may have to get mentally prepared. This may been focusing on breathing during the bowel movement, and concentrating on an object in the room.
