One of the hardest parts of CPR training
I’ve recently gotten CPR certified, and also even more recently took an infant-specific CPR class. One of the hardest parts of CPR training is getting the correct chest compression pace. Instructors use to say do chest compressions to the beat of Bee Gee’s Staying Alive, which is roughly 100 beats per minute, fairly close to the ideal chest compression per minute pace. However, this is not the correct pace for infants, where pacing should be even faster (somewhere between 100-120, often recommended to be 110). Also, unless you regularly listening to Staying Alive, you probably will misremember the beat. Which is why a fairly inexpensive digital portable metronome is a nice training tool. This one on Amazon sells for less than $10, and remembers the last BPM set (so you could leave it at 110, or whatever bpm of your choosing).
