Modified Chest Thrusts are an emergency medical procedure typically used to help someone who is choking and cannot breathe. In cases where someone is choking and unable to do the Heimlich maneuver, Modified Chest Thrusts can be used. There are several synonyms for Modified Chest Thrusts, including the Jaw Thrust technique, which involves gently lifting the patient's jaw forward and upward to open the airways. Another synonym is the Abdominal Thrust technique, which is similar to the Heimlich maneuver and involves applying pressure to the abdomen to force air out of the lungs. Other synonyms for Modified Chest Thrusts include Chest Compressions, Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), Resuscitation, and Emergency Medical Technique.
