Explain how to open the airway in a child or infant

What will be an ideal response?


The head-tilt/chin-lift technique may be used in infants or children to open the airway. Perform the technique the same as for adults; however, do not overextend the child’s or infant’s neck when tilting the head. This could possibly damage the neck as well as close the airway instead of opening it.
