After starting CPR on any individual how often should recheck for the pulse?
Do a pulse check about every 2 minutes (or after 5 cycles of CPR).
At the end of a 2 minute cycle of CPR you should. The next step?
It used to be that after every 2 minutes of CPR, you did a pulse check. Now, once it is confirmed there are no signs of life, CPR is not stopped until EMS arrives and takes over. When EMS arrives, they will do a pulse check (which includes a breathing check) and if no pulse the AED will be hooked up. Since for the lay rescuer the rescue breathing (RB) for adults has been eliminated, there is no check required as CPR is immediately started. For children and infants, where RB is performed, after every 2 minutes you do a pulse check.

A persons pulse can be taken at a number of different places on the body but it is typically taken at the wrist or neck. On the wrist it is taken at the Radial Artery.

At the neck the pulse can be felt at the Carotid Artery 2-3 inches either side of the Larynx. Again, apply gentle pressure to feel the pulse.
