Medevac off Coos Bay

A US Coast Guard aircrew medically evacuated a 26-year-old man in the morning of July 11, 2020, off the 'McKenzie Rose' 100 miles west of Coos Bay. The captain used a marine radio to hail watchstanders at Coast Guard Sector North Bend at approximately 5:30 a.m. to report a member of the crew sustained a head injury and was in need of medical attention. The 'McKenzie Rose' began to transit toward shore to more quickly rendezvous with the Coast Guard MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew. A constant communication schedule was established between the Sector and the fishing vessel. The aircrew hoisted the injured fisherman shortly after noon and transported him to the Coast Guard airbase where his care was transferred to emergency medical services personnel.
