Larry & James take vitals
Over the past two weeks, licensed deck officers and MED-PIC students at our Seattle campus have been mastering emergency medical response in the Medical Person in Charge (MED-PIC) course (MITAGS-307). This STCW-compliant training prepares mariners to handle medical emergencies at sea.
Featured Scenario: Students responded to an electrocution-related CPR drill, where Charlie, playing a Chief Engineer, suffered an electric shock, went into cardiac arrest, and required CPR and AED intervention. After regaining a pulse but not breathing, rescue breaths were given. A secondary exam revealed an electrical exit wound, prompting cervical immobilization, backboarding, and transport to sick bay for further monitoring. Contact with a shore-side doctor led to a decision for medical evacuation.

Ongoing assessment in sick bay
Great job to all the MED-PIC students for their dedication and teamwork!
