People feel more confident performing
Hands-Only CPR and are more like-
ly to remember the correct rate when
trained to the beat of a familiar song.
During CPR, you should push on the
chest at a rate of 100 to 120 compres-
sions per minute. The beat of "Stayin'
Alive" is a perfect match for this.
90% of people who suffer
out-of-hospital cardiac arrests
die because they don't receive
immediate CPR from someone
on the scene. As a bystander,
don't be afraid. Your actions
can only help.
