After 27 years of field experience as a Paramedic, I know how to use them as well as how to perform a pre-cordial thump. If your there at the time of the collapse, as in this case, a pre-cordial thump has a very good chance of working. Just as early defibrillation is a must in a successful resuscitation, rapid care is a must. I wouldn't recommend using a thump for anyone on this board or any umpire for that matter UNLESS, it's your job. Because of my background, I would administer care, I would be negligent if I didn't.
