Using Songs to Aid in Delivering Good CP...

PAUL TAYLOR
About this episode

Providing good, high quality, CPR with minimal interruptions and early defibrillation are two keys to improved cardiac arrest outcomes.

A training tool used in many CPR and ACLS classes is to use a song (or a song list) with a tempo of 100 to 120 beats per minute to help the person doing chest compressions maintain an adequate rate.

Characteristics of good songs that will help us.

Advantages & disadvantages of using a song during CPR.

Selected songs from various genres and time periods from AHA's "Don’t Drop The Beat" playlist on Spotify.
