Disco tune saves lives


Bee Gees 1977 disco tune "Stayin' Alive" provides an ideal beat to follow while performing chest compressions as part of CPR on a heart attack victim. Basically, chest compressions to be given at a rate of 100 per minute in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). "Stayin' Alive" almost perfectly matches that , with 103 beats per minute rhythm.
