Over time we have always heard the “Stayin Alive†song by the Bee Gees was the tempo used for CPR Compressions. Well that still holds true for everyone who knew it and it is true if you did not know it.

Well compressions are done to the rate of 100-120 compressions per minute and a little on the morbid side is “Another One Bites the Dust†by Queen. But let’s keep this a little more on the positivity of the reason – trying to save a life.
