What is the jaw thrust?
The jaw thrust is a maneuver used in first aid and emergency medicine to open a person's airway, particularly when they are unconscious or have a suspected spinal injury. It involves placing the fingers behind the angle of the jaw and pushing it forward while stabilizing the head and neck. This technique helps to prevent airway obstruction by lifting the tongue away from the back of the throat, allowing for easier breathing. It is often preferred over the head-tilt-chin-lift method in certain situations, especially when spinal injuries are a concern.
