CPR - Step 3

Open the Airway

- Begin by rolling the person onto their back if they aren’t already, GENTLY.

- Take a knee beside their head.

- Then open the airway by:

- Placing one hand on the person’s forehead and tilt the head back.

- Using two fingers under the chin to lift the jaw.

- This ensures the airway is open before you begin giving breaths.

FOR CHILDREN:

You DO NOT need to tilt the head back as far as if the person was an adult. A slight tilt is enough for a child.
