"Stayin Alive" Helps You Stay Alive

In a small study conducted at the University of Illinois medical school, doctors and students maintained close to the ideal number of chest compressions doing CPR while listening to the Bee Gees hit, "Stayin' Alive." At 103 beats per minute, the old disco song has almost the perfect rhythm to help keep accurate time while doing chest compressions. The study showed the song helped people who already know how to do CPR, and the results were promising enough to warrant larger, more definitive studies with real patients or untrained people. I wonder what intrinsic power is contained in "How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?"

If you want an alternative, Queen's "Another One Bites The Dust" also works. I'm sure the recipient would much rather here that upon regaining consciousness... Plus, the added benefit of the joy in the faces of the patient's loved ones when they recognize what you are humming under your breath, as their beloved friend/family member slowly slips away!
