On April 18, 2025, a 42-year-old crew member of the 'Giovanni Venturi' was medevaed by helicopter in the Punta Indio Channel of the Río de la Plata, after collapsing, hitting his head, and beginning to experience seizures. The rescue operation was coordinated by the Argentine Naval Prefecture, which deployed a helicopter and an airplane from the Mar del Plata Air Station to assist the victim. The incident occurred more than 100 kilometers from the city of La Plata when the ship's captain requested immediate assistance due to the serious medical condition of the victim, who was showing signs of possible respiratory arrest. The crew performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), stabilizing him while a radio consultation was established with the air force's medical team. Given the severity of the condition, the medical evacuation protocol was activated, and an aircraft with specialized personnel and a doctor on board was dispatched to the scene. The patient was lifted into a medical basket and transported by helicopter to land. During the flight, the man received initial medical attention, and upon landing at Buenos Aires Air Station, he was taken by ambulance to a medical center for further treatment.
