Medevac off Dutch Harbor

A Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter crew medevaced a 28-year-old man, who was suffering from appendicitis-like symptoms, from the "TW Manila", 125 miles south of Dutch Harbor, on May 5, 2014. The Jayhawk crew safely hoisted the man and transported him to Dutch Harbor where he was met by commercial emergency medical services for further transport to advanced medical care. Coast Guard 17th District command center watchstanders had received the request for medevac from the master of the "TW Manila", which was enroute to Mexico and 450 miles south of Dutch Harbor on May 4. He reported the crewmember was suffering from abdominal distress and needed medical assistance. The watchstanders directed launch of an Air Station Kodiak Jayhawk crew as well as an Air Station Kodiak HC-130 Hercules airplane crew and an Air Station Kodiak MH-65 Dolphin crew, which was deployed aboard the Coast Guard Cutter Midgett in the Bering Sea, to support the medevac request. The bulker was also directed to steer towards Dutch Harbor in order to get within helicopter range to conduct the hoist. Weather at the time of the hoist was reported as 40-mph winds and 15 to 20-foot seas.
