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
