European Resuscitation Council Guidelines 2021: Adult advanced life support
2021, ResuscitationCitation Excerpt :The use of epicardial wires to pace the myocardium following cardiac surgery is effective and discussed elsewhere. Do not attempt pacing for asystole unless P waves are present; it does not increase short or long-term survival in- or out-of-hospital.389–397 For haemodynamically unstable, conscious patients with bradyarrhythmia, percussion pacing as a bridge to electrical pacing may be attempted, although its effectiveness has not been established.104,398,399 Give serial rhythmic blows with the closed fist over the left lower edge of the sternum to pace the heart at a physiological rate of 50–70 min−1.
