What is the recommended depth of chest compressions for an adult victI’m?
When performing a pulse check on an Infant or Child, check for a maximum of 10 seconds. For lay CPR, no pulse check is required for an adult.
Do 5 minutes of stretchs to get the body going and then after check your pulse !
Propagation time of any pulse is roughly the time needed for the leading edge of the pulse to travel from one point to another. It will be more accurate to say that the pulse is registered at a given point when its leading edge reaches half of the maximum value (amplitude) of the pulse. The propagation time of a sound pulse is equal to the distance between the measuring points divided to the sound velocity in the medium in which it propagates.
The B.P. equipment can be used to check your pulse.

You then check for breathing & pulse for a maximum of 10 seconds; if no breathing & pulse immediately start CPR and continue CPR until AED re-analyzes.
Do not stop CPR to check for a pulse.
