So we breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide. When we do mouth to mouth CPR, doesn't your carbon dioxide go into that person or how does that work?
Okay, so when giving mouth-to-mouth CPR to someone, not all the air that is being exhaled consists of carbon dioxide. Exhaled air contains 17 percent oxygen, less than 21 percent of fresh air, and 4 percent carbon-dioxide, which can inhibit cardiac contraction.

So studies have found that from 10 to 35 percent of patients who receive CPR inhale stomach contents, emitted after air is blown into the stomach rather than to the lungs. And time allocated to ventilation, especially if only one rescuer is involved, is subtracted from the efforts to provide chest compressions. https://www.uchicagomedicine.org/forefront/news/mouth-to-mouth-ventialtions-role-in-cpr-questioned
Hope that helps :)
Thank you
