Not likely as there is the Good Samaritan law in place to protect people who for what ever reason choose not to preform CPR.

When applying CPR what can cause the patient to regurgitate food?
When preforming CPR, chest compressions push on the structures in close proximity to the stomach which can cause pressure on the stomach causing the victim to regurgitate the stomach contents.

Regurgitation is a more common occurrence then not.

How many compressions you need to give when you're giving CPR?
When two rescuers are preforming CPR on a child, the compression to breath ratio is 15:2. That is 15 compressions 1-1.5" deep at a rate of 100 compressions a min. Each rescue breath should last about one second and make the chest clearly rise. The cycle is then repeated, fifteen compressions and two breaths. The rescuers should change positions about every 2min or about 10 cycles.
