Songs to do CPR to
New York Presbyterian Hospital has created a playlist called ‘Songs to do CPR to’ with the explanation: ‘People feel more confident performing Hands-Only CPR and are more likely to remember the correct rate when trained to the beat of a familiar song. When performing CPR, you should push on the chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compressions per minute, which corresponds to the beat of the song examples’. The playlist includes (appropriately) the Bee Gees’ ‘Stayin’ Alive’. Here’s their top ten:
1 Just Dance Lady Gaga, Colby O’Donis
2 Something Just Like This The Chainsmokers, Coldplay 3 Rumour Has It Adele
4 Sorry Justin Bieber
5 Hang With Me Robyn
6 Okay Holy Ghost!
7 Closer POWERS
8 Say You’ll Be There Spice Girls
9 I Will Survive Gloria Gaynor
10 Rock Your Body Justin Timberlake
