Head-Tilt/Chin Lift for an infant

SKILL

Take extra care with small children and infants as the structure of their neck and airway is softer and more easily damaged. Patients with an injury to the head or neck or with a MOI that suggests such an injury must have spinal motion restricted. Avoid twisting or overextending the neck when opening the airway.
