Oliver Hudson, Bianca Kajlich, Patrick Warburton, Megyn Price and Adhir Kalyan from Rules of Engagement join with the American Heart Association in helping to teach the public Hands-Only CPR. In the “Rules of Hands-Only CPR” video skit, the Rules of Engagement cast discuss how learning the technique can save lives and point out the fun fact that The Bee Gees’ “Stayin’ Alive” is the “near-perfect rate” for chest compressions.
“Hands-Only CPR has just two easy steps. There’s no excuse not to learn this life-saving skill,” said Megyn Price, Rules of Engagement cast member. “If a teen or adult suddenly collapses, call 9-1-1 and then push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of ‘Stayin’ Alive’ until help arrives.”
“People feel more confident performing Hands-Only CPR and are more likely to remember the correct compression rate when trained to the beat of ‘Stayin’ Alive,'” said Alston Inaba , M.D., the American Heart Association CPR instructor credited with first using the song to help students recall the right rate of compressions. “Not only is it a fun, catchy and memorable way to remember what to do, but it works – people’s lives have been saved because of it.”
