Not being argumentative, but the American Heart Association has recommended the tempo of "Stayin' Alive" for compressions for several years now. They probably think the title is catchy too.


I've been a paramedic for twenty years; I've recertified in CPR, ACLS, and PALS, though the AHA, every two years in that time, and this is the first time I've ever heard this. Maybe this is what they tell the lay people?

FWIW: I just looked up the tempo of "Stayin' Alive." 103 beats per minute. Compressions are supposed to be delivered at a rate of at least 100 per minute, so, there you go. Good advice.

how hard was it to get certified to teach


Not hard, sit in the class & pass the test written and practical (demonstration).

what's the cost?


If there was a cost my agency picked it up for six of us to be trainers.

quote:

Once you're certified to teach How much do you make for each person you certify?


We train others at our agency and do recerts for free. See of your employer would do the same for you. Will probably help them on insurance costs.
