So what role can Taylor Swift, Beyonc\u00e9, and Dua Lipa play? Compressions have to be both fast and deep enough to stimulate blood flow, and the songs on AHA&#8217;s list have all been deemed good guides to stick to for the optimal tempo for CPR: between <a href=\"https:\/\/cpr.heart.org\/en\/resuscitation-science\/high-quality-cpr#:~:text=High%2DQuality%20CPR%20Saves%20Lives&amp;text=Chest%20compression%20fraction%20%3E80%25,chest%20in%20infants%20and%20children\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/cpr.heart.org\/en\/resuscitation-science\/high-quality-cpr#:~:text=High%2DQuality%20CPR%20Saves%20Lives&amp;text=Chest%20compression%20fraction%20%3E80%25,chest%20in%20infants%20and%20children\">100 and 120 beats per minute<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s both how quickly the blood is flowing to the rest of the vital organs and also how deep you have to push to get that blood flow,&#8221; says Dr. Sasson. Compressions that fall between 100 and 120 pushes per minute hit this sweet spot\u2014whether you&#8217;re doing CPR on an adult, kid, or infant\u2014and humming a song that has the right tempo is one easy way to keep track and make sure you&#8217;re doing it right.<\/p>\n<h2>How to do hands-only CPR<\/h2>\n<p>There are only two steps to perform hands-only CPR, according to Dr. Sasson and Dr. Kransdorf:<\/p>\n<p>1. Call 911<\/p>\n<p>2. Push hard and fast on the chest until help arrives<\/p>\n<p>With each push, be sure to press at least two inches into the chest when doing CPR on an adult or child, says Dr. Sasson, and at least 1.5 inches deep for infants.<\/p>\n<p>Ideally, you&#8217;ll keep going until the person is responsive (\u201cif they push your hands away, that\u2019s a good sign,\u201d says Dr. Sasson). Don&#8217;t stop until help arrives or you&#8217;re instructed to, or the person becomes responsive. Keep going until the person can breathe on their own again, says Dr. Sasson; if you are getting too tired to keep on pace and you\u2019re not alone, she suggests swapping out with someone else who can keep the necessary tempo. Take turns if they get tired, too.<\/p>\n<h2>Knowing when to administer hands-only CPR<\/h2>\n<p>Actually recognizing <em>when<\/em> cardiac arrest is happening is paramount so it&#8217;s clear when to do CPR. \u201cWe like to say that cardiac arrest is really won or lost in the field,\u201d says Dr. Sasson. \u201cThe most important thing is just recognizing that someone&#8217;s heart has stopped and they&#8217;ve gone into cardiac arrest. Delays in recognition are one of the biggest challenges we have in terms of getting people to do things that we know can save a life in the first 10 to 15 minutes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to the CDC, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/sudden-cardiac-arrest\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20350634\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/sudden-cardiac-arrest\/symptoms-causes\/syc-20350634\">symptoms of cardiac arrest<\/a> include: not breathing, no pulse, suddenly collapsing, and losing consciousness. Before all that happens, someone may feel discomfort in the chest or feel particularly weak, have heart palpitations, or shortness of breath. When all this goes down, it\u2019s time to call 911 and then get pumping.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, someone who is having a heart attack doesn\u2019t need CPR but definitely needs to get to a hospital ASAP; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/heartdisease\/cpr.htm#:~:text=throughout%20the%20body.-,Cardiac%20arrest%20is%20not%20the%20same%20as%20a%20heart%20attack,to%20the%20hospital%20right%20away.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/heartdisease\/cpr.htm#:~:text=throughout%20the%20body.-,Cardiac%20arrest%20is%20not%20the%20same%20as%20a%20heart%20attack,to%20the%20hospital%20right%20away.\">heart attacks occur<\/a> when blood can\u2019t flow through the heart as opposed to the heart stopping completely, says Dr. Sasson. A person having a heart attack can still be awake and talking, but someone having a cardiac arrest will not. \u201cIf they\u2019re still responsive, you should not do CPR, but if they suddenly collapse and they\u2019re not responding, breathing, or they\u2019re having very ineffective breaths, that is when you would start,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<h2>4 things to know about hands-only CPR<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Not doing it perfectly is better than not doing it at all<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, having to actually do CPR can be extremely emotional, stressful, and scary\u2014but both Dr. Kransdorf and Dr. Sasson say it\u2019s key that you try, even if you don\u2019t do it perfectly. Trying to get any blood flow to the heart is better than none. Receiving CPR training is one way to ensure you know exactly what to do if the need ever arises; the <a href=\"https:\/\/cpr.heart.org\/en\/course-catalog-search\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/cpr.heart.org\/en\/course-catalog-search\">AHA<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/take-a-class\/cpr\/cpr-training\/cpr-classes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.redcross.org\/take-a-class\/cpr\/cpr-training\/cpr-classes\">American Red Cross<\/a> have tools to find trainings, plus a wealth of online resources.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Cardiac arrests are more common at home<\/h3>\n<p>If you&#8217;re imagining performing CPR on someone, you may envision it happening while you&#8217;re out and about. But in fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health\/cardiac-arrest\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health\/cardiac-arrest\">nine out of 10 cardiac arrests happen at home<\/a>. This fact underscores the need to learn how to do CPR properly. &#8220;The life you&#8217;re likely to save is going to be someone you love,&#8221; Dr. Sasson says. For this reason, it might be helpful to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/heart-arrhythmia\/in-depth\/automated-external-defibrillators\/art-20043909\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.mayoclinic.org\/diseases-conditions\/heart-arrhythmia\/in-depth\/automated-external-defibrillators\/art-20043909\">keep an AED at home<\/a>, as well (and to learn how to use it properly).<\/p>\n<h3>3. Don\u2019t be afraid to push hard<\/h3>\n<p>Some people might be scared to crack or break the sternum or ribs of the person they&#8217;re trying to save. As upsetting as the idea of hurting someone can be, both Dr. Kransdorf and Dr. Sasson emphasize that it\u2019s important for your chest compressions to be deep and firm enough to actually get air flowing, which requires using your body weight to push. Remember that the person receiving CPR is in bad shape already, and your actions are what can save them. &#8220;Ribs can heal, but if someone&#8217;s heart stops and it never restarts, you have no chance of helping them,&#8221; says Dr. Sasson.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Some people are worried to perform hands-only CPR on women\u2014don&#8217;t be<\/h3>\n<p>As of this year, heart disease is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealth.gov\/node\/1374#:~:text=%231%20%E2%80%93%20Heart%20Disease%20is%20the,some%20form%20of%20heart%20disease.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealth.gov\/node\/1374#:~:text=%231%20%E2%80%93%20Heart%20Disease%20is%20the,some%20form%20of%20heart%20disease.\">leading cause of death for women<\/a>\u00a0in the United States. Unfortunately, surveys have shown that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6386169\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-vars-event=\"body text\" data-vars-click-url=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6386169\/\">women are less likely to receive CPR<\/a> from bystanders than men. Dr. Sasson says this may be because of a fear of hurting someone or being accused of doing something inappropriate. To clarify, CPR should be performed over clothing per the AHA&#8217;s guidelines, as long as it&#8217;s not too bulky to interfere with compressions. (Though the chest should be bare when using an AED).<\/p>\n<p>The next time you find yourself rocking to one of these pop songs, consider practicing some CPR moves as well\u2014your jam sesh could prepare you to save a life.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1675549\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Besides being an eternal dance floor bop, \u201cStayin\u2019 Alive,\u201d the Bee Gees\u2019 classic disco song, is notable for another reason that\u2019s frankly way more important than tearing it up with your groovy moves: The song\u2019s beat has long been known as a great guide to follow when performing hands-only cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR).
