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.

What causes planes to go up and down?
Planes go up and down primarily due to changes in lift, thrust, and drag. Lift is generated by the wings as air flows over them, with the angle of attack and airspeed being key factors. Thrust, produced by the engines, propels the plane forward, while drag is the resistance against this motion. By adjusting these forces, pilots can control the altitude of the aircraft during ascent and descent.
Which airway technique will prevent movement of the head spinal cord and neck.?
Jaw-Thrust Technique
What is the difference between a jaw thrust and a modified jaw thrust?
In the Jaw Thrust maneuver, the head is tilted back in order to facilitate opening the airway. The Modified Jaw Thrust is similar except there is no tilting of the head back. The rescuer/clinician should attempt to anteriorly position the lower jaw without moving the rest of the head. One should use the Modified Jaw Thrust in cases where a cervical spine injury is suspected.
You've decided to perform the jaw-thrust?
