Use A Song To Pace CPR Compressions
- Hum a 100–105 BPM song while doing chest compressions to keep proper rhythm.
- The Macarena works because its beat (~103 BPM) matches recommended compression tempo.
Prefer Hands-Only CPR For Bystanders
- Current CPR guidance emphasizes hands-only chest compressions and de-emphasizes rescue breaths for bystanders.
- Historical mouth-to-mouth fell out of favor partly due to concerns about breathing mostly carbon dioxide.
Deer Rescued With CPR
- An RSPCA officer performed chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth on a drowning deer and revived it.
- The deer stood up, shook off water, and ran away after being rescued.
