In mouth to mouth resuscitation how would your exhaled breath help the person in receiving aid?
The atmosphere around you contains roughly 20% oxygen. When you inhale, then exhale, you trap some, but even in exhaling after a breath, you're putting out approximately 14% oxygen. While this isn't as good as 20%, it's enough for someone to survive on, and a heck of a lot better than no O2 at all.

What is artificial resuscitation?
Artificial resuscitation, also known as artificial respiration is the process of assisting an individual to breath [inhale and exhale gases, commonly oxygen and Carbon Dioxide] to the body. In most common cases, it uses medical machines to aid patients in breathing.Artificial resuscitation refers to the use of CPR or a mechanical device to breath for a person or pump blood for a person when their body is not able to do so.
Why is exhaled air used as resuscitation?
Exhaled air is used in resuscitation, particularly in techniques like mouth-to-mouth ventilation, because it contains a mixture of oxygen and carbon dioxide, making it effective for delivering oxygen to a person who is not breathing. The exhaled air still contains sufficient oxygen (about 16%) to sustain life temporarily, allowing for the restoration of oxygen levels in the lungs. Additionally, using exhaled air is practical and immediate in emergency situations when other oxygen sources may not be available.
If humans exhale carbon dioxide and mouth to mouth resuscitation is used to force oxygen into a person isn't the rescuer forcing carbon dioxide not oxygen into the lungs of the person not breathing?
Only a proportion of the air exhaled is carbon dioxide there is plenty of Oxygen there to do what is required under normal circumstances. People don't use all of the oxygen they breath in, a % of it is blown right back out of the body again.
What does a breathalyzer do?
A breathalyzer is a device used to measure the amount of alcohol in a person's breath. It estimates the blood alcohol content (BAC) by analyzing the alcohol content in the exhaled breath. This measurement is then used to determine if the person is under the influence of alcohol.
How mouth to mouth resuscitation work?
The air you breath is approximately 21% O2 when you breath out its about 15% O2. When you breath into a person, you are breathing for them. Its the same thing as if they were breathing on there own, only less O2 concentration. The air still goes down to their lungs.
How does a breathalyzer examines the breath exhaled?
A breathalyzer examines exhaled breath by measuring the concentration of alcohol vapor present. When a person blows into the device, the breath is drawn into a sensing chamber, where a chemical reaction occurs, typically involving a catalyst like platinum. This reaction produces an electrical current that correlates to the amount of alcohol in the breath, allowing the device to estimate blood alcohol concentration (BAC). The results are then displayed digitally for analysis.

What is the amount of air that can be exhaled with the greatest possible exhalation after the deepest inhalation called?
The amount of air that can be exhaled after the deepest inhalation is called the vital capacity. It represents the maximum amount of air a person can breathe in and out of their lungs during a single breath.
A person has stopped breathing and receiving pulmonary resuscitation what's better pure oxygen or oxygen and carbon dioxide?
Pure O2 would be best but, you would have to be able to force it with a ventilator or such.
What is resuscitation?
Resuscitation is the act of reviving someone who is unconscious, unresponsive, or not breathing. It typically involves cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) to restore blood circulation and breathing. Prompt resuscitation can be crucial in saving a person's life.
What is a kiss of life as a first aid?
The kiss of life is a metaphorical term for using your own breath to inflate another person's lungs. It is one part of the cardio-pulmonary resuscitation procedure.
Why do you do cardiopulmonary resuscitation?
to save a person life
