Airway Maintenance & Breathing
Airways Maintenance
Maintaining a casualty’s airways can be achieved by placing two fingers under the chin and 1 hand on the forehead and tilting the head back.
Assessing Breathing
Listen to the casualty’s breathing by placing your cheek over their mouth and nose.
Using your ears, listen for breathing, use your cheek to feel for hot breath and watch for the rising and falling of the casualty’s chest for 10 sec’s.
