Medevac off Honolulu
US Coast Guard crews conducted a medevac of a 50-year-old mariner from the 'Brilliant Ace' 100 miles northwest of Honolulu, on Dec 4, 2020. At 9:00 p.m., on Dec 3, the 'Brilliant Ace' notified JRCC watchstanders that a crewmember onboard appeared to be suffering from their medications not working. Duty flight surgeons from the Coast Guard were consulted and recommended a medevac based on the concern that the mariner’s condition could rapidly deteriorate if left untreated. The vessel was instructed to set course for Oahu where Coast Guard air assets would be ready to rendezvous. A Coast Guard Air Station Barbers Point MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew transported the mariner back to the air station where ambulances were waiting to transport him to Queen’s Medical Center. The weather at the time of the medevac was reportedly winds of 23 mph and seas up to 6-feet.
