RESULTS: After instruction, 66% of nurses who had received demonstration with music performed chest compressions within the recommended range, compared with 41% of those receiving traditional demonstration.

CONCLUSION: Using music when teaching CPR can improve nurses' performance of chest compressions at the recommended rate.
