HOUSTON — The Coast Guard medevaced a 30-year-old man from a vessel 50 miles off Galveston, Texas, Saturday.
Coast Guard Sector Houston-Galveston watchstanders received a medevac request at approximately 5 p.m. from a crew member stating a 30-year-old male was found unconscious. Watchstanders consulted with the duty flight surgeon, who recommended a medevac.
Watchstanders coordinated the launch of a Coast Guard Air Station Houston MH-65 Dolphin helicopter aircrew to conduct the medevac.
The helicopter crew arrived on scene, hoisted the crew member, and transported him to the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston in stable condition.
