What is the maximum interval for pausing chest compressions?

The maximum interval for pausing chest compressions during CPR is typically recommended to be no longer than 10 seconds. Prolonged interruptions in chest compressions can decrease the effectiveness of CPR and reduce the chances of successful resuscitation. Therefore, it is important for rescuers to minimize interruptions in chest compressions as much as possible to maintain adequate blood flow to the heart and brain. Additionally, effective teamwork and communication among rescuers can help ensure timely and continuous chest compressions during CPR.
