Excerpt

In children, midgut volvulus has a reported bowel necrosis frequency of 9.3–17.6% and mortality of 5.6–15.3% [13]. The imaging exam typically used to diagnose midgut volvulus is a fluoroscopic upper gastrointestinal (GI) series. This study requires the physical presence of a radiologist [4], and for studies performed at remote locations or after-hours (e.g., evenings, weekends), either a radiologist needs to be called in from home or the child transferred to a hospital where the procedure is available. This process can lead to a delay in diagnosis and, most important, it can delay emergent surgical treatment and negatively impact patient outcomes. …
