Best Answer

Signs of life check after the initial check for an adult has been eliminated. Once you start CPR on an adult, do not stop unless advanced medical takes over, an AED is available to hook up, the scene becomes unsafe and you need to move yourself and the patient, or the patient shows signs of life during the CPR process.

CPR should not be interrupted or stopped until an AED is ready to use, another trained responder takes over or you see an obvious sign of life.

Once CPR is started on an adult, you do not stop CPR to check for signs of life. If you see signs of life while performing CPR, stop and confirm the signs of life for no more than 10 seconds.

Do not stop CPR to check for signs of life on an adult; if signs of life are evident when performing CPR, stop and open the airway and check breathing & a pulse.
