As an Instructor I can say that it depends on your instructor and WHERE you are testing as differant areas preform the nation registry their way.... Our sheets do not say to stop and check for pulse either, But I think it would be a good idea...Don't you?? You are the pro in this case, be sure that a by-stander is not doing CPR on someone breathing and has a pulse. Thanks

If they have a pulse and are breathing they aren't going to allow you to do CPR. CPR hurts its obvious if they are not stopping you that you should probably just continue with the CPR.

in the beginning he directs the person doing cpr to stop so he can check a pulse. on my skills sheet is doesnt say anything about doing that. is it standard to check pulse before applying the aed?
