It's either they have a pulse or they don't. It's not going to magically appear in the next three minutes. So about 10 seconds, AT THE MOST, a pulse should be assessed and if there isn't any present at the carotid artery (at the neck) then CPR and ventilations should be started immediately. In a critical emergency where someone isn't breathing or doesn't have a pulse, there is NO time for TIME! Actions must be made quick but you've got to be sure of your final decision. It's apart of EMS.
Breathing should be checked for 10 seconds, in that time you should be looking and checking for 3 things:
1- The rising of the chest- which would suggest the casualty is breathing.
2- Listening for breathing by the mouth- not to be confused with the alike sound of gasping in which the body sometimes does when someone is unconscious and not breathing.
3- Feeling for breath on your cheek- as your head should be sideways facing down towards the rest of the body.
