You just made me look at Vinnie Jones CPR video again. Staying Alive!

When I do the SLSA CPR recertification course I use "Another one Bites the Dust"

On the ABC they said Baby Shark and Achy Breaky Heart work too.
I will stick with the Bee Gees

Staying Alive seems like an apt choice and positive vibes. Another One Bites the Dust whilst a great song and right rhythm makes it seem like you don't want the person to make it, negative vibes.

IMO Baby Shark rhythm is all wrong and the less said about Billy Ray Cyrus the better.

New advice is 1-ring 000, 2-push ie compressions (staying alive or similar theme song) then 3-shock.

3 is not shock.

3 is actually apply the AED and follow its instructions - it may shock or it may not. If it does not shock it will say continue CPR.

......

Any song with a beat of 100-120/min qualifies.
My favourites are
" you got a friend in me"
"don't go breaking my heart"

Spotify has various CPR playlists

Maybe ‘apply AED’ was the intent.

Doesn't work when you need to stop because you can't remember the words to the next line.

Yes - turn on the AED and apply the shock pads.
Other than that there is no other buttons to press. There is also no shock button.

(Other than a button to select whether adult or child)
