Head-tilt/chin-lift maneuver
Head tilt One hand is placed over victim's forehead and firm, backward pressure is applied with palm to tilt the head back
Chin lift Fingers of other hand are placed under bony portion of the lower jaw near the chin to bring the chin forward and the teeth almost to occlusion, which supports the jaw and helps tilt the head back; the fingers must not press deeply
in the soft tissues under the chin, as this might obstruct the airway; for mouth-to-nose breathing, ↑ pressure is applied by the chin hand to further close the mouth; dentures are removed only if necessary

At Bangkok, it costs only 3,500 USD for a Face lift surgery (cheek bone area lift, cheek area lift, chin lift and neck lift). Whether you want a tummy tuck, a chin lift or an entire body life, you''ll likely find someone willing and able to perform the procedure. If you suspect a neck or spinal injury, rather attempt a jaw thrust (if 2 rescuers are present) or just a chin lift (if you are alone) if possible. |
