Question:
What is the recommended rate of chest compressions per minute during CPR for an adult?

Answer:
100 to 120 compressions per minute.
(This is roughly the same tempo as the song “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, which is often used as a rhythm guide during training!)

A surprising fact about CPR is that over 70% of cardiac arrests happen at home, yet only about 46% of individuals who experience one receive CPR from a bystander. This means that if someone collapses in front of you, it is likely a family member or friend, and you could be their only chance of survival. Learning CPR is crucial, as it doesn’t just help strangers; it could save someone you love. 😮

🫀 CPR Can Save a Life – Know How! 🫀
Sudden cardiac arrest can happen to anyone, anywhere. Knowing CPR gives you the power to make a difference in those critical minutes. Here are some quick tips:
1️⃣ Call 911 immediately before starting CPR.
2️⃣ Push hard and fast in the center of the chest—about 100–120 compressions per minute.
3️⃣ Let the chest rise fully between compressions.
4️⃣ If trained, provide rescue breaths: 2 breaths after every 30 compressions.
5️⃣ Use an AED if available—it can restore the heart’s rhythm.
Being prepared can save a life. Take a class, practice your skills, and encourage others to do the same. 💪💓
