The atmosphere around you contains roughly 20% oxygen. When you inhale, then exhale, you trap some, but even in exhaling after a breath, you're putting out approximately 14% oxygen. While this isn't as good as 20%, it's enough for someone to survive on, and a heck of a lot better than no O2 at all.

Why the blood carbon dioxide levels increased in a person who breath into paper bag or cupped hand during hyperventilation?
Because you're re-breathing exhaled air - every time you breath the same air in, you're taking in some of the remaining oxygen, and replacing it with exhaled CO2
If humans exhale carbon dioxide and mouth to mouth resuscitation is used to force oxygen into a person isn't the rescuer forcing carbon dioxide not oxygen into the lungs of the person not breathing?
Only a proportion of the air exhaled is carbon dioxide there is plenty of Oxygen there to do what is required under normal circumstances. People don't use all of the oxygen they breath in, a % of it is blown right back out of the body again.
How does mouth to mouth resuscitation work?
