Stayin' Alive

That BeeGee's song is back - and it might actually keep someone, maybe even someone you know and love, maybe even yourself!, literally Stayin' Alive!  Turns out that the ol' CPR (the one where you alternate between chest compressions and mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) is gone.  It's been replaced by Continuous Chest Compression CPR requiring ~100 compressions per minute.  (And the best way to measure this is by thinking of a song with a disco beat...like "Stayin' Alive" - how appropriate!)

Watch this video!  Watch it - share it!

 

Knowing what to do could DOUBLE the chances that someone having a heart attack will survive.  It requires NO certification or coursework and could save a life.
