So I had the thought recently to look into other songs that someone could do CPR to if they wanted. The idea is of course to keep the person performing CPR on beat. I found two great lists of songs from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/take-a-class\/resources\/articles\/cpr-songs\">Red Cross<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ems1.com\/cardiac-care\/articles\/cpr-shuffle-the-life-saving-playlist-you-need-hl3vty9x5q4HeCpk\/\">EMS1<\/a> that I did skim but I didn&#8217;t read their lists too closely because I wanted to come up with my own. According to the Red Cross, you need to stay between 100-120 beats per minute. The key here is to pick a song that you know well enough to keep you on beat.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8220;Thriller&#8221; by Michael Jackson<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Hips Don&#8217;t Lie&#8221; by Shakira<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Good Luck Babe!&#8221; by Chappell Roan<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;There&#8217;s Nothing Holding Me Back&#8221; by Shawn Mendes<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Purple Rain&#8221; by the artist formerly known as Prince<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Ordinary&#8221; by Alex Warren<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Just the Way You Are&#8221; by Bruno Mars<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)&#8221; by Kate Bush<\/li>\n<li>&#8220;Like A Prayer&#8221; by Madonna<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I hope that this list helps you a little bit, and if it can&#8217;t, then you can find your own song that&#8217;s between 100 bpm- 120 bpm.<\/p>\n<p>Written by Brigid Coffey<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When I was in CPR class, they&#8217;d always tell us [&#8230;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9584","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
