A song gives him the rhythm. Says paramedic Ferdinand Biegert and presses his spread-across hands in even thrusts into the middle of the chest of a resuscitation dummy. 30 times. At a steady pace. He then reveals the song that he sings along to in silence when he resuscitates people in cardiac arrest. “Hey, Pippi Longstocking. Trallari, trallahey tralle hoppsasa.” Of course, he is always aware of the serious situation, says Biegert, but the song has exactly the right rhythm, “and helps me to keep up the pressure massage well.”
