By "cardiac thump," I am asuming you are referring to what is known as precordial thump. A precordial thump is a medical intervention used when a person has a witnessed cardiac arrest and no defibrillator is readily available. The thump is actually a blow to the mid-sternum with the physician's hand. A closed fist is held about 12 inches from the sternum; it is then used to suddenly strike the chest with the medial portion of the hand. This actually generates some electrical activity, around 5 joules, and has been shown, in some cases, to convert a lethal heart rhythm back into a normal rhythm.
