A member asked:
Can you get a person out of v-fib or v-tach using bare hands?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No: V-tach may very well revert to a healthier rhythm by itself, v-fib less likely. There's no "magic touch". I hope i haven't misunderstood your question; thanks for asking.

Rarely: Chest thump has occasionally cardioverted a person. Cpr and AED are more effective.
