How often should you switch providers when performing high-quality CPR?

Switching providers every 2 minutes during high-quality CPR is essential for maintaining optimal performance and avoiding fatigue. When rescuers switch places at this interval, it helps ensure that the compressions remain strong and effective. High-quality CPR relies on consistent, high-rate chest compressions, and rescuers may become tired after continuous efforts, which can lead to a decrease in the quality of compressions. By changing providers every 2 minutes, each rescuer can continue to deliver compressions at the proper depth and rate, which is critical for improving the chances of survival for the individual receiving CPR.
