A new study from the University of Illinois' school of medicine found that the ideal number of chest compressions when performing CPR is near 100 per minute, or, as students discovered, the same beat of the Bee Gee's classic disco hit, "Stayin' Alive." According to CNN:
[Dr. David Matlock's] study involved 15 students and doctors and had two parts. First they did CPR on mannequins while listening to the song on iPods. They were asked to time chest compressions with the song's beat.Students found they had the most success maintaining the appropriate pace when listening to the song, which has 103 beats per minute. Matlock will be presenting his full findings here in Chicago at the American College of Emergency Physicians conference later this month.

Really? Because the last thing I want to hear before I possibly die is some kid softly humming the bee gee's to me while pounding on my chest. IF I SEE THE LIGHT, AND I HEAR THAT FUCKING SONG CALLING ME BACK, I'M OUT!
A lot of instructors teach you to time chest compressions with Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust" a bit of gallows humor there I suppose, but it works.
Umm Wow! This info is trivial, but not trivial at the same time.
Magooism, well said sir well said
