Medevac off Cold Bay
A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew, deployed aboard the Coast Guard Cutter "Midgett", medevaced an ailing crewmember aboard the "Seafreeze Alaska" approximately 195 miles north of Cold Bay on June 23, 2016. Coast Guard 17th District watchstanders were notified at approximately 7:45 a.m. by personnel at Health Force Partners of a medical situation aboard the Seafreeze Alaska. Watchstanders consulted the duty flight surgeon who recommended the medevac. Crewmembers from Midgett rendezvoused with the vessel north of Cold Bay and launched the rescue helicopter crew. While the helicopter was airborne, the "Midgett" remained on scene to act as a support platform for the rescue helicopter. The helicopter crew hoisted the 21-year-old man, who reportedly lost consciousness for 45 minutes, and transferred him to awaiting Guardian Flight emergency medical personnel in Cold Bay. Once the hoist was complete, the helicopter refueled aboard the cutter before proceeding to Cold Bay.
Medevac in Bering Sea
An Air Station Kodiak Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew deployed aboard the Coast Guard Cutter "Munro" medevaced a fisherman from a fishing vessel 138 miles northwest of Cold Bay on Mar 10, 2013. The 47-year-old fisherman, who was suffering abdominal distress, was safely hoisted from the "Sea Freeze Alaska" and flown to Cold Bay where he was safely transferred to commercial medical services for further care. The Coast Guard 17th District Command Center received the request to transport the crewman from the fish processor at 2:50 p.m. The duty flight surgeon was consulted and recommended the medevac. The helicopter crew launched from the cutter at 5:58 p.m., safely hoisted the patient from the fishing vessel and arrived in Cold Bay at 8:00 p.m. They were met by Guardian Services who further transported to Anchorage for advanced medical care. The weather on scene at the time of the call was reportedly 10 mph winds with 4 to 6-foot seas.
