JordanThe combination of 95% oxygen and 5% carbon dioxide in resuscitators helps provide an optimal gas mixture for effective artificial ventilation. The higher oxygen concentration ensures sufficient oxygen delivery to the patient, while the addition of carbon dioxide helps stimulate breathing and maintain proper gas exchange in the lungs.

What is the concentration of oxygen in air exhaled?
There is 13-16% oxygen in expired air but it depends on your size. See the link below.
Is oxygen carbon dioxide and nitrogen a compound?
No, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen are not compounds. Oxygen and nitrogen are elements, while carbon dioxide is a chemical compound composed of carbon and oxygen atoms.
What goes into carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide is a compound of Carbon and Oxygen - CO2
Why if you breathe in 0.03 percent carbon dioxide you breathe out 4?
When you breathe in air, it contains around 0.03% carbon dioxide. Through respiration, your body metabolizes oxygen and converts it to carbon dioxide, which increases the concentration of carbon dioxide in your exhaled breath to around 4%. This difference in concentration occurs due to the process of gas exchange in the lungs, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled.
Where do lugs get oxygen and release carbon dioxide to?
when you breathe in, you breathe in oxygen and when you breathe out, its carbon dioxide
