During CPR when should you check the pulse on a elderly patient?
During CPR on an elderly patient, you should check for a pulse after performing 30 chest compressions and before giving 2 rescue breaths, if you're following the standard CPR protocol. However, if you're alone and the patient is unresponsive and not breathing normally, it's generally recommended to skip the pulse check and initiate CPR immediately. Checking for a pulse can be time-consuming and may delay critical care. Always call emergency services as soon as possible.

If an unresponsive patient is not breathing rescuers should start compressions. Professional rescuers like paramedics, nurses, and doctors still check a pulse. Pulse checks should never last longer than 10 seconds. For more information you should take an American Heart Association CPR class form a reputable company like The Heart Center.
