I thought some of you might like a little distraction after the final and I saw this interesting article online. The American Heart Association recommends a rate of 100 compressions per minute while performing CPR. The authors of a recent study practiced CPR while listening to different songs on ipods, and they found out that "Stayin Alive" by the Bee Gees has a beat of 103 per minute. 5 weeks later they practiced CPR again and were told to think of the song while giving compressions and it improved their compression rates.
