____ is performed by applying sharp blows to the chest, in the same manner as a precordial thump but with one-quarter the force.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique being referred to is percussion pacing. It involves delivering sharp blows to the chest with one-quarter the force of a precordial thump. This can stimulate the heart and potentially restore a normal rhythm in cases of cardiac arrest. Electrical pacing and chemical pacing both involve more targeted and controlled methods of stimulating the heart, typically through the use of external or internal devices. EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) is a phenomenon that can interfere with medical equipment, but is not related to cardiac pacing.
