Aside from all the comments that have pointed out that you still exhale a good amount of oxygen, it’s actually not recommended that you do mouth to mouth resuscitation as a bystander during CPR anymore, the chest compressions are the important part. A bunch of studies were showing that mouth to mouth resuscitation wasn’t really doing much if anything. That was like 20 years ago.
