Cardiac massage is a resuscitation technique that must be practiced very rigorously, and the pace at which it is performed is extremely important. In order to make learning these vital gestures easier and more fun, the Presbyterian Hospital of New York had the idea of teaching them by listening to music with a beat of 100 beats per minute (bpm).
Indeed, heart massage involves practicing alternately 30 chest compressions on the sternum (followed by 2 breaths) at a speed of 100 to 120 bpm, i.e. two compressions per second. Massively taught, the technique of cardiac massage is no less complex because, unless you refer to a metronome, it is not always easy to perform the gestures by adopting the right rhythm. Thus, in an article published by Quartz, the hospital reveals the ideal Spotify playlist to perform a cardiac message set to the right tempo. Verdict:the hit Stayin’ Alive of the Bee Gees leads ahead of Cecilia by Simon &Garfunkel. The rest of the ranking contains well-known songs like I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor, Who's that girl by Madonna, Another One Bites The Dust by Queen, Dancing Queen from ABBA or Crazy in Love by Beyoncé. One thing is certain, the hit by the pop group the Bee Gees has never sounded so right!
