A near-miss event is characterized by detection and correction of a gap in care before harm reaches the patient. After a near-miss event in which midgut volvulus (MGV) was identified on an ultrasound (US) performed for suspected hypertrophic pyloric stenosis (HPS), we implemented a new Vomiting Infant Protocol to capture cases of malrotation (MR)/MGV presenting with nonbilious emesis (NBE).
