New CPR Song for New CPR Rate?

Published

So today I became aware that the new ideal CPR rate is "at least" 100 (and up to 120) compressions per minute with the ideal being more like 110 compressions per minute...

Help!

I can no longer use Staying Alive or Another One Bites the Dust!

New songs needed, must be a catchy, rhythmic 110 BPM. Clever double meanings a plus.

Got any good ones?

Agree, of course. No one should concentrate on CPR quantity without also quality.

But why not focus on both?Music is a very good way to keep tempo accurate without that metronome the ACLS recert video suggested.

Never done CPR on a live (or dead, rather) person, but just about anything off of S.C.I.E.N.C.E. by Incubus or Get on Top by Red hot Chili Peppers :)

I use sites like this to find good target heart rate songs for exercise. Here are some 110/bpm songs. 110 bpm (Music Database :: Dave Tompkins)

I quite like the idea of compressions to the tune of Huey Lewis' "I want a new drug."

Re : Bangarang. Hahah!!! I love that song...however, I feel that I may start trying to spin on the patient's chest rather than compress it..
