|
|
Broncho-constriction
|
The contraction of smooth muscle that lines the bronchial passage that results in a decreased internal diameter of the airway and increased resistance to airflow. (common diseases like asthma)
|

|
Used when no trauma or injury is suspected
|
|
When do you use the Jaw thrust maneuver?
|
Used when trauma, or injury is suspected to open the airway without causing further injury to the spinal cord in the neck. (remember that any conscious, and many conscious, trauma patients should be suspected of having an injury to the head or spine)
