Masking Technique

Principles of Masking Technique

Provide a good seal over the face by choosing an appropriately sized mask which would cover both the mouth and the nares. The appropriately sized mask should rest on the bridge of the nose (avoiding the eyes) and extend to the chin.

Open the airway passages (specifically the posterior pharyngeal space) by providing chin lift and jaw thrust (single hand and two hand technique)
