    100 compressions per minute is the optimum rate for doing to CPR. "Staying Alive" by the Bee Gees and "Another One Bites the Dust" by Queen are both played at 100 beats per minute, but if you are doing CPR don't sing the second one out loud.

    Scott,
    A few others: http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~davet/music/bpm/100.html

    Have had to give CPR two times in my life one in 1972 heart stopped the man about 50 years old, he lived. And again in 1996 on an airplane from North China to Hong Kong an older man about 75 and he was a Dr. he also lived (got a Xmas card the next year from him.
    no songs used but my heart did race at least 100bpm.
    Keith
