To palpate the pericardium, you typically place your fingers over the left sternal border, specifically at the 3rd to 5th intercostal spaces. You can also use the palm of your hand to gently press against the chest wall, feeling for the heartbeat to assess the motion of the heart and any abnormal vibrations. This technique helps to evaluate for pericardial effusion or other abnormalities. Always ensure the patient is in a comfortable position and relaxed during the examination.
