Basic airway manoeuvres are used to open and maintain the airway in patients with altered mental status. These manoeuvres can be used for both adults and children. The tongue becomes floppy and falls back into the airway when a patient is unconscious; these manoeuvres open the airway by moving the obstructing tongue out of the way.
For this pilot testing, please open the examples below and test that all the interactivities are working. The lesson will open in a new tab. When you have comleted a lesson, please close the tab and try the other lessons. We are eager to recieve your feedback.
The BEC course is for first contact health workers who care for patients with acute illness or injury, including nurses, midwives, prehospital providers (e.g. emergency medical technicians), paramedical practitioners (e.g. clinical officers) and doctors.
