  • Système cardio-vasculaire
CONT

[L'infirmière] a procédé au massage cardiaque en se servant de la technique du coup de poing précordial.

OBS

Avant d'entreprendre un massage cardiaque externe, on peut tenter une manœuvre de «ressuscitation» souvent efficace si elle est faite instantanément: elle consiste à donner un violent coup sur la région précordiale. Cette manœuvre peut suffire à restaurer la circulation, rendant alors toutes les autres manœuvres inutiles.
