Been certified in BLS and ACLS for almost 40 years. This is the best visual explanation I have ever seen with the head models.

[@geekymedics]

Thanks so much - that means a lot!

[@linamahmoud5873]

Totally agree 💯

[@hondapilot]

By far the best video I've seen on these life saving maneuvers.

[@DrEnigma-zv5zx]

Best visual I have seen for explaining how it affects the spine and tongue etc

[@col8179]

You guys save lives with this type of professional instruction thank you

[@a3minutevideo737]

OMG! This is best demonstration I have ever seen.

[@grigorsamsa6564]

Amazing video. Immediately subscribed to your channel. I've struggled with finding a way to help completely untrained people (zero medical / anatomy / biology background) visualize this, and your video is perfect for both theoretical and practical instruction. All in 3 minutes! I have a feeling your NPA video will come in handy as well.

[@arpier7754]

Another fantastic life saving video!

[@mariamnadeem1819]

You guys are doing amazing work. Keep it up!!!

[@ZeinGold]

Brilliant demonstration.

[@lisimendoza191]

I'm currently studing to take my NCLEX test and thanks to the detailed visual explanation I've finally been able to understand the purpose of each of this manouvers. Thank you so much!

[@sanjaychoudhary6381]

Excellent

[@gihansaleh3721]

So clear explanation thank you so much

[@user-dd5wp6mg5r]

Thank you SO MUCH!! It helps me SO MUCH to understand with a visual view for studying my nursing! I wasn't able to understand how those two methods work differently in opening the airway and clearly, I can see how Jaw Thrust works and how it contradicts with c-spine injury.

[@minadz1279]

Very interesting video as usual
Please keep making more

[@nikolohernandez4234]

You're welcome!

[@lord1mahmoud]

thanks

[@amandahuegedeserville6175]

I would like to see how this works with cpr

[@Sam-fb3ti]

Would you use the Jaw Thrust in combination with a OPA or NPA device if you were concerned for the patient's C-Spine ?

[@corissa2819]

Can I purchase this red anatomy model? Please include where this can be purchased for education purposes. Thanks great video

[@IAmDenisP]

Where did you buy your airway diagram? nice visual to use in explaining

[@amirlands9801]

❤

[@james2some]

I like hearing the weird ways british people pronounce anatomy

[@toota1507]

Thank you so much
