How to Perform CPR With Dignity Health

February is heart month, a month to raise awareness of the leading cause of death in the United States which is cardiovascular disease. With recent events in the media including the cardiac arrests of Damar Hamlin and Lisa Marie Presley understanding the relevance of CPR, an emergency lifesaving procedure performed when the heart stops beating is key. Hands-only CPR can double or at times triple a person’s chance of survival according to the American Heart Association. Here are a few songs that are between 100-120 beats per minute which is the same rate at which you should perform compressions when administering CPR: “Stayin' Alive” by Bee Gees, “Call Me Maybe” by Carly Rae Jepsen, “Ring of Fire” by Johnny Cash, “Poker Face” by Lady Gaga, “Bye Bye Bye” by *NSYNC, “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor, “Take a Chance on Me” by ABBA.
