Tilt the person’s head back gently- the mouth will open slightly
as you do this.
·
Lift the chin, and listen if the person is actually breathing.
Check the breath for 10 seconds.
·
Kneel down next to the person and move him or her
on their side, putting one hand under the cheek
as it is seen in the picture.
Important:
if you suspect a spinal injury, do not move the person. Open his
or her mouth gently without moving the neck.
