It's the process of re-inflating your lungs so your body can start breathing on its own again. It has nothing to do with what we’re breathing in.

The oxygen content of expired air is a little lower and the carbon dioxide content a little higher than inspired air, but it isn't that huge a difference.

Exhaled air is about 17% oxygen and about 4% carbon dioxide. Not great, but enough to get SOME oxygen into a person who isn't breathing. The rest of what we breathe in and out is nitrogen, which isn't absorbed by the body. Regular air is 21% oxygen and almost no carbon dioxide.
