✔✔head tilt-chin lift maneuver - ✔✔A combination of two movements to open the airway
by tilting the forehead back and lifting the chin; not used for trauma patients.
✔✔jaw-thrust maneuver - ✔✔Technique to open the airway by placing the fingers
behind the angle of the jaw and bringing the jaw forward; used for patients who may
have a cervical spine injury.
