As with adults, you do not stop CPR once you start to check for signs. The only reasons you would stop would be the following:

1. an AED is ready to use

2. another equally/better trained person can take your place performing CPR

3. the scene has become unsafe for some reason

4. the victim SHOWED signs of life

5. you become too tired to continue performing CPR

About how often you stop and check for signs of life when performing CPR on an adult?

Signs of life check after the initial check for an adult has been eliminated. Once you start CPR on an adult, do not stop unless advanced medical takes over, an AED is available to hook up, the scene becomes unsafe and you need to move yourself and the patient, or the patient shows signs of life during the CPR process.
