Round 7: Tossup 3

An analysis of OHCA events by Blewer et al. found that women are less likely than men to be subject to this technique in public. The toymaker Åsmund Lærdal created a tool for learning this technique that he gave the name Anne. William Kouwenhoven, the “father” of this technique, led a team that developed a device (15[1])which performs a similar function using two (*) electrodes (10[1])and a current. This technique can be performed to the Bee Gees’ song “Stayin' Alive” (10[1])because (10[1]-5[1])its (10[1])tempo is 104 beats per minute.
