Open the Airway

- After completing 30 chest compressions, the next step is to open the airway in preparation for rescue breaths.

- 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.

- If the airway is not open, then the breaths will not be efficient.
