Rescue teams were called Thursday to Rav Kahaneman Street in Bnei Brak after a 95-year-old man collapsed and lost consciousness.
Hatzalah volunteers, together with Magen David Adom paramedics and EMTs, performed advanced resuscitation procedures on the man at the scene. He was then evacuated to Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital while CPR continued en route.
Hatzalah paramedic Eliyahu Simchon and EMTs Meir Azoulay and Shmuel Rotenberg described the scene: "When we arrived, we found a 95-year-old man unconscious, without a pulse and not breathing, after he had collapsed. Together with Hatzalah and Magen David Adom EMTs and paramedics, we performed advanced resuscitation procedures that included chest compressions, medications, and electric shocks from a defibrillator."
Following the resuscitation efforts, the man was evacuated to Mayanei HaYeshua Hospital in Bnei Brak while CPR continued, for further medical treatment in the trauma room.
The public is asked to daven for his refuah sheleimah among all the sick of Klal Yisrael.
