Your lungs do not absorb the majority of the oxygen in the air you breathe. The air you inhale is about 21% oxygen and the air you exhale is about 16% oxygen.

But if you don’t have either administering rescue breaths, while performing high-quality compression will help keep the brain and organs perfused.
