In the tape, it could be heard an unidentified woman speaking to a male emergency dispatcher. She said that 58-year-old woman had a heart attack, isn't breathing, and is cold and clammy. She also added that she is trying to administer CPR. At the time she was speaking with the dispatcher, another woman on the background was yelling, "Donda West, please wake up! ... Come on!".

During the confusion, the sound of someone begins hyperventilating was heard. Hearing that, the dispatcher asked for several times whether West was breathing or not. Though initially didn't give immediate response, the woman on the phone finally answered, "No, she's not". The dispatcher then asked whether they know how to do CPR, but again he didn't get answer. Instead, it can be heard that the two woman speaking with each other.

Growing frustrated, he therefore said, "Ma'am, let me tell you how to do this. You need to listen. You're not listening to what I'm telling you. You're not helping the person at all. ... Have the other people be quiet so I can tell you what to do." Following that, he continued to instruct the women in doing the CPR. Soon after, the paramedics arrive and he hangs up.
