@fox4newsdallasfortworth: Emma Dilley, a student at Dallas Baptist University, may have helped save a stranger's life in downtown Dallas on Tuesday night. Dilley performed CPR on an unconscious man in Oak Lawn, despite having never done so on a human, before first responders took over medical care. She tells FOX 4's David Sentendrey she learned CPR in high school and was happy that her training came in handy.
Let’s remember… he’s NOT unconscious… he’s DEAD. She’s Providing LIFE SAVING CPR on a street corner. You go girl!!

ER nurse here! Her form is great but you also have to remember she’s TINY. Looks like she is trying very hard. Compressions take a lot out of a person. Tons of people standing around and she is trying her best. Be kind!

Per my CPR class ANY action is better than NO action. You can’t do anymore harm to a dead person

Do you see his belly moving? That means she's putting enough pressure to manually pump his heart FROM OUTSIDE HIS BODY. She did this so well!

As a nurse she’s doing a great job. See how his stomach is popping up on every compression? That means it’s deep enough. It’s so hard to do especially as a young woman on a man. Could she have gone faster ? Yes . Is any heart beats better than 0? YES

I would rather have a “non professional” to do cpr on me than no cpr at all🤷🏻♀️

This is honestly the best bystander CPR I have ever seen. The depth of the compressions alone is better than 99%, you go girl

Also by this point sirens are approaching, that’s how long she’s been doing CPR. She’s exhausted, her arms are on fire, everyone else is watching!! She gave this man a chance!

Should be illegal to record people's medical emergencies.

CPR is only meant to buy you time for the first responders arrive! You are technically 💀when compressions are started. And compressions are hard and wear you out if you are truly doing them. Good depth sis and thank you for stepping in and being a good samaritan!!!!!!

RN here, she’s doing a brilliant Job. She has a small body and is putting in so much effort. You don’t realise how exhausting CPR is until you have actually done it on a real person

For those of you who haven’t done CPR before, it doesn’t look how it does in the movies. It literally feels like you’re pushing up against a brick wall. Not a pillow. It’s incredibly exhausting. These are great compressions that are buying him time while EMS arrives. He’s technically dead. So anything they do from here can only help.
