- CPR and Emergency Cardiovascular Care, American Heart Association – Remember, push to the beat of "Stayin' Alive".
"The optimum rate of compression is 100 to 120 beats per minute. It may come naturally, but if you need help gauging it, thinking of a song may help. “Stayin’ Alive,” by the Bee Gees is the right tempo. “Girls Just Want To Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper or “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” by the Clash also are in the 100 to 120 beats-per-minute range."
