CPR急救 vs 比吉斯《活下去》
美國一項最新醫學研究發現,「比吉斯合唱團」一九七七年的迪斯可暢銷金曲《活下去》(Stayin’ Alive),為急救心臟停跳患者的心臟按壓動作,提供了幾近完美的節拍,對進行心肺復甦術(CPR)有加分效果,建議醫療人員在急救病患時,可在心中默唱此首歌曲。
據美國伊利諾大學醫學院研究,《活下去》每分鐘節拍有一○三下,與「美國心臟學會」建議在進行CPR時,每分鐘按壓病患胸口一百下,非常接近。
這一研究其聰明之處在於救援人員通常難以做到CPR指導方法所推薦的胸部按壓頻率每分鐘一○○下──而《Stayin' Alive》每分鐘的節奏是一○三下。伊利諾伊大學佩奧雅醫學院(University of Illinois College of Medicine at Peoria)的研究人員使用了樂曲速度分析軟件MixMeister BPM Analyzer得出這一結論。
主持研究的馬特洛克醫師說,很多人不敢施作CPR,是因為不確定正確節奏,一分鐘到底壓幾下。如果心臟停跳患者能及時獲得適當的CPR急救,存活率可提高三倍,但許多人在進行CPR時,都很難掌握準確的心臟按壓節奏。
這項實驗一開始,十五名駐院醫師和醫學系學生被要求一邊用iPod聆聽《活下去》,一邊依歌曲節拍對人體模型進行心臟按壓,他們的任務是跟著節奏進行按壓。結果他們做得相當不錯﹐平均每分鐘按壓一○九下。五周之後,他們被要求不聽音樂、只在心中默唱這首曲子進行心臟按壓,結果是或多或少,救援人員平均每分鐘按壓一一三下。
第一次平均按壓速率為每分鐘一○九下,第二次為一一三下,雖皆較「美國心臟學會」建議的一百下要高,但馬特洛克認為,按壓次數略多一些,遠比次數太少效果要好。
參與伊利諾大學實驗的廿八歲的實習醫師吉勃特說,他一直被譏笑是音痴,不過日前他真的以默唱此曲成功救活了一名病患。
「美國心臟學會」發言人奈卡尼醫師說,他們使用這首歌曲作為CPR的訓練材料已有兩年之久,但不知先前是否有測試過?
