If you have not done a certified CPR course, then DON'T ever attempt CPR.

To be deemed CPR competent you have to learn the guidelines of CPR, and then demonstrate CPR competently in front of a qualified instructor.

Those who have successfully completed a First Aid & CPR course, and does his/her best, to their ability and within the guidelines of First Aid practices, will be covered by the "Good Samaritan Act or Legislation"

If you have done a CPR course you would no that for a lay rescuer there no longer a pulse check, whilst performing CPR.

Check below link American Heart Association, under "Differences in CPR for Lay Rescuers and Healthcare Providers"

So my adivice to you is do a First Aid course.

You really should do a CPR course, along with a few people who answered your question.

I agree with Georgie and Mick.marlows reply they are up to date with their First Aid and CPR, due to their qualifications.

There is NO PULSE CHECK IN CPR, this is as someone said is because people were having trouble finding a pulse, thus wasting valuable time.
The rates are 30:2, that is 30 compressions and 2 breaths, 5 cycles in a 2 minute period. At no time do we stop to check for a pulse.

You don't in the new algorithms. You continue until professional help arrives. This is because too many people were taking too long wondering if the victim was (A) breathing or (B) had a pulse. The most effective CPR is continuous CPR.

Ditto to Georgie's reply as she said, GO DO A FIRST AID COURSE.

My understanding is there is no longer a pulse check in CPR, unless your a medic or some other medical professional.

check for about 10 second, and stop and check every 2 minutes or about every 5 cpr cycles

If you are asking on here then you need to visit a website for CPR or take a CPR course.

CPR and make contact with the ambulance. i'd probable be very frantic approximately it yet i think of i could get by using it. My daughter became choking on a cookie and that i virtually flipped her over to preform an infant hymlic maneuver, yet thankfully she spit it out. The sitaution a minimum of taught me i would not be thoroughly helpless in those form of circumstances.
