The maximum time you should spend checking for normal breathing is 10 seconds.

The maximum time you should spend checking for normal breathing is typically around 10 seconds. This allows enough time to properly observe the person's chest rise and fall or listen for any sounds of breathing. Anything longer than 10 seconds can delay necessary medical interventions if the person is not breathing normally. It's important to act quickly if you suspect someone may have stopped breathing or is experiencing difficulty breathing.
