American Heart Association says that this ’90s grunge classic is perfect tempo for CPR

The American Heart Association has revealed that one ’90s grunge classic is ideal for performing hands-only CPR. Find out what it is below. The nonprofit - which works to fight heart disease within the United States - frequently share reccomendations for songs that are the correct tempo for cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Their website states that compressions should be performed at a rate of between 100 and 120 per minute. Now, they’ve shared that Pearl Jam ‘s ‘Even Flow’ has a tempo of 105 beats per minute, making it an ideal tempo for hands-only CPR, which is chest compressions without mouth-to-mouth breaths. “Break out the flannel shirts and ripped jeans and turn on some Pearl Jam and learn how to save a life with Hands-Only CPR,” they wrote in a post on Instagram. “If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of ‘Even Flow’,” the AHA wrote in the caption.” They’ve also recently shared that Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ and Bad Bunny’s ‘El Clúb’ fit the ideal tempo, and last year they revealed that a few of Charli XCX’s ‘ Brat ‘ songs are the correct tempo for hands-only CPR , with both ‘Spring Breakers’ and ‘360’ being comprised of 120 beats per minute.
