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.
