Carefully keep patients head, neck and spine aligned, moving him as a unit as you keep him in the supine position. Kneel at the top of the victim's head.

For long term comfort it may be helpful to rest elbows on the same surface as the victim's head.

Carefully reach forward and gently place one hand on each side of the victim's lower jaw, at the angles of the jaw below the ears.

Stabilize the victim's head with your forearms.

Used index fingers to push the angles of the lower jaw forward.

You may need to retract the lower lip w/ thumb to keep victim's mouth open.

Do not tilt or rotate victim's head.

This process allows the pharynx, or throat, to be open in order for the easier passage of air in and out of the lungs.
