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

Disco tune "Stayin' Alive" could save your life

U.S. doctors have found the Bee Gees 1977 disco anthem Stayin' Alive provides an ideal beat to follow while performing chest compressions as part of CPR on a heart attack victim. The American Heart Association calls for chest compressions to be given at a rate of 100 per minute in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). "Stayin' Alive" almost perfectly matches that, with 103 beats per minute - Reuters
