CG medevacs research ship crew

NEW ORLEANS - The Coast Guard medevaced a 69-year-old man from a Norway-flagged seismology research vessel Oct. 12 about 135 miles SW of Southwest Pass, La.

The CG received a call at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 11 from the crew of the vessel Artemis Arctic reporting a crewmember experiencing heart attack-like symptoms. 

The CG launched a New Orleans-based MH-60 Jayhawk helicopter aircrew. The aircrew hoisted the patient and transferred him to awaiting emergency medical services personnel at the University Medical Center in New Orleans.

The man was last reported to be in stable condition. (Coast Guard 10/12/23) Video: Coast Guard medevacs crewmember 135 miles southwest of Southwest Pass, Louisiana > United States Coast Guard News > Press Releases (uscg.mil)
