- Title
Choosing Enteral Feeding for Patients with Severe Malnutrition.
- Abstract
The article discusses research on enteral (EN) feeding as a method of refeeding patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). It references a study by Maria Gabriela Gentile of the Eating Disorders Unit at Italy's Niguarda Hospital published in the 2012 issue of "Nutrients." It highlights the need to strike a balance between refeeding and underfeeding to avoid the refeeding syndrome caused by overly rapid correction of malnutrition, and underfeeding caused by a too-cautious approach to refeeding.
