  • Title: Avoiding medical complications during the refeeding of patients with anorexia nervosa.
    Author: Sachs K, Andersen D, Sommer J, Winkelman A, Mehler PS.
    Journal: Eat Disord; 2015; 23(5):411-21. PubMed ID: 25751129.
    Abstract:
    Nutritional rehabilitation and weight restoration are key underpinnings of the treatment protocol for patients with anorexia nervosa. While their inherent state of malnutrition and weight loss is certainly not a healthy one, ironically, the very essence of the refeeding process, if done injudiciously, can also be unsafe for patients with anorexia nervosa. In this article we will provide a review of the major complications that may arise during refeeding, how best to avoid them, and how to treat them.
