Treatment of monitored out-of-hospital ventricular fibrillation and pulseless ventricular tachycardia utilising the precordial thump. Precordial thump is a medical procedure used in the treatment of ventricular fibrillation or pulseless ventricular tachycardia under certain conditions. The procedure has a very low success rate, but may be used in those with witnessed, monitored onset of one of the "shockable" cardiac rhythms if a defibrillator is not immediately available. The precordial thump is included in the advanced cardiac life support (ACLS) paramedic training program, and has been used in our approach to the pulseless, nonbreathing patient. During an eight-month period, 50 pulseless, nonbreathing patients received precordial thumps during ACLS resuscitative attempts. precordial thump.

Although precordial blows can trigger ventricular fibrillation (VF) (i.e., commotio cordis), they paradoxically have been regarded as potential therapy for cardiac arrest.
