CPR pulse check no longer than?
Since 2005 the American Heart Association has recommended that bystanders trained in CPR should NOT be checking a pulse. If an unresponsive patient is not breathing rescuers should start compressions. Professional rescuers like paramedics, nurses, and doctors still check a pulse. Pulse checks should never last longer than 10 seconds. For more information you should take an American Heart Association CPR class form a reputable company like The Heart Center.
How do you take a pulse?
You count your heartbeats during 1 minute, normally by feeling on the side of your neck.You take someone's pulse by putting a finger to the neck artery (carotid) or the wrist (side closest to thumb). It is important that you use a finger for this and not your thumb so that you don't end up taking your own pulse. Links can be found below for more informationIf time is of the essence, count for 15 seconds and multiply by four, or 30 seconds and multiply by two. One can also use the femoral arteries to the sides of the groin. Or in cases of infants, the brachial artery on the medial (inside) part of the bicep is used.

Why do you take your pulse with your fingers and not your thumb?
Taking your pulse with your fingers allows for more accurate results compared to the thumb. This is because the thumb has its own pulse that can interfere with detecting the pulse being measured. Using the fingers helps eliminate this interference for a more precise reading.
