Opening the airway. Administer high concentration O2 via nonrebreather mask. Provide positive pressure ventilation. Diffusion governs gas exchange. Things diffuse from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration. In the lungs, O2 diffuses from the air into the capillary and CO2 diffuses from the capillary into the air.
