The upper airway in infants is easily obstructed because the trachea (windpipe) is soft and can be distorted by an excessive backward head tilt or chin lift.
In infants, therefore, the head should be kept neutral and maximum head tilt should not be used. The lower jaw should be supported at the point of the chin with the mouth maintained open.
There must be no pressure on the soft tissues of the neck. If this does not provide a clear airway, the head can be tilted backwards very slightly with a gentle movement.
