Check for both a brachial pulse and carotid pulse. If pulse is present, assist ventilation. If no pulse is present, continue CPR until help arrives, the victim regains consciousness or you physically cannot perform CPR any longer. Also note if you are acting as a certified individual (First responder, EMT-B, EMT-I, EMT-P, RN, MD) You may only pass off CPR and management of the patient to someone of an equal or higher certification level.
What is the machine that paramedics use to bring people back to life?
AED. Automated External Defibrillator. The heart has its own electrical system that fires and tells the heart when to pump, numerous things make the heart stop beating. But you can do CPR and essentially pump the heart for the patient but ultimately the AED will restore the electrical system by shocking the heart if you follow AED directions. Both CPR and an AED are essential for starting back up the heart, you cant just "ride the lighting" aka shock the patient like in the movies and tv shows. In order to actually bring somebody back you have to do CPR and use the AED.

You should have an AED / CPR card so your knowledge of the AED use and performing CPR is at an adequate level. But, it isn't required.
When CPR is in progress and the AED pads have been attached to the victim the rescuers should?
Some AEDs after the pads are attached you plug in the pads before the AED will analyze; some the pads are attached to the AED and you need to push the analyze button. At this point, do not touch the patient. So, the best answer to me is "the rescuers should make sure the AED is analyzing and do not touch the patient".
