A Spotify playlist created by NewYork – Presbyterian Hospital, contains only songs with 100 and 120 beats per minute, the perfect rate to perform CPR to. The diverse playlist includes wonderfully appropriate songs like the Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” and “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor, and some so, like Mariah Carey’s “Heartbreaker.”
The playlist went viral receiving both praise and amusing comments, like ” I really want to save someone’s life with Hips Don’t Lie just so I can tell people I saved someone’s life with Hips Don’t Lie.”
I learned how to do CPR today so now I know how to save your life but more importantly I found out New York Presbyterian Hospital maintains a Spotify playlist of songs that are the right beat to time CPR compressions to and it is on point pic.twitter.com/C05BFPawBc
