Staying Alive to the Bee Gees
Kapiolani Hosptial ER doctor Alson Inaba was published in the American Heart Association Journal on an internationally acclaimed CPR method he came up with, based on the song 'Stayin Alive?' This led to national media coverage in the Chicago Tribune, Canadian Press and even on Jay Leno's show. It was back in 2005, Dr. Inaba discovered that using the tempo of the Bee Gees' 1977 disco classic 'Stayin Alive' helps people perform CPR at the recommended 100 chest compressions per minute. After his concept was published in the American Heart Association Journal in September 2006, 'Stayin Alive' has been adopted by the AHA and training centers around the world as the method to teach and conduct CPR - KGMB
