Shipboard Medical Emergency Protocols

Shipboard medical emergency protocols are structured steps for responding to health issues at sea. They include assessing the patient's condition quickly, providing necessary first aid, and determining if advanced medical help is needed. Crew members are trained to stabilize the patient, call for professional medical assistance via radio, and coordinate emergency evacuation if required. Clear communication, proper use of medical supplies, and adherence to safety procedures ensure prompt, effective response, helping to maintain safety and health aboard until professional medical help can take over or the vessel reaches port.
