Explanation:
After a shock, the priority is to restore and maintain blood flow to vital organs. Defibrillation may fix the rhythm, but the heart needs immediate perfusion, so you resume chest compressions right away and continue the CPR cycle (with breaths as your protocol calls for). Pulse checks right after a shock are unreliable and can waste precious seconds, and rechecking the rhythm is done after you’ve completed a short CPR interval to keep blood flowing while the rhythm stabilizes.
