Do you do two minutes of compressions after the pulse returns during CPR?

No. Once signs of life return, you should turn the patient onto the recovery position to maintain a patent airway.
If you feel any sort of resistance while doing chest compressions, it could mean that the patient has recovered. Stop CPR and check for their breathing and pulse.
If there are NO signs of life, carry on with CPR.
If the patient has a pulse AND is breathing adequately, put the patient onto the recovery position.
If the patient has a pulse BUT no breathing, continue mouth to mouth breathing/bag masking only.
Gurgling, gasping or any other signs of abnormal breathing should not be taken as signs of life. In this instance, assume they have no breathing and carry on with the Patient Action Plan.

Check to see if they have a pulse, or are breathing. If they have both, no CPR is needed. If they have a pulse but aren't breathing, you can perform rescue breathing only without chest compressions. If they do not have a pulse and aren't breathing, you perform rescue breathing and chest compressions.

Do you have to check for pulse before doing chest compressions?
Yes. A person can be unresponsive and still have a pulse. Chest compressions should only be done on someone who does not have a pulse. * However, one should not look for a pulse for longer than 10 seconds, so as not to waste time. If no pulse is found after 10 seconds, start chest compressions immediately. * the only exception to this rule is that CPR can be done on an infant or child whose heart rate is less than 60. This is usually done only by health care providers or those certified in PALS.
