According to both the American Red Cross and the American Heart Association, once you begin CPR, you do not stop to check for signs of life. The five reason to stop CPR are as follows:
1. an AED was ready for use
2. you were relieved by another equally/better trained responder
3. the scene became unsafe
4. the victim showed signs of life
5. you were too exhausted to continue
If you are performing Rescue Breathing, you would stop about every 40 breaths or 2 minutes to check for a pulse. If pulse is present, continue Rescue Breathing. If no pulse is found, begin CPR (compressions AND breathing).
