• Select the appropriate height level from the three available options based on the child's neck length.
• Slide the back portion behind the neck, then position the front piece so the chin rests perfectly in the designated curve.
• Secure the side Velcro straps with balanced firmness, ensuring the collar stabilizes the head without compromising the airway.
• Verify that the tracheal opening is centered perfectly to allow medical monitoring of pulse and respiration.
