Bad Bunny’s “Titi Me Pregunto” can help you keep the beat and save a life with Hands-Only CPR. If you see a teen or adult suddenly collapse: 👉 Call 911 👉 Push hard and fast in the center of the chest at a rate of 100-120 beats per minute #CPRwithHeart #HeartMonth @sanbenito

The lyrics might be heartbreaking but the beat could be heart-saving: @TaylorSwift13 ’s “You’re Losing Me” (From the Vault) has the right tempo for Hands-Only CPR. If you see a teen or adult, collapse call 911, then push hard & fast in the center of the chest. #NationofLifesavers
