Re-feeding syndrome in head and neck--prevention and management.
Oral Oncology 2011 September
"Re-feeding syndrome" is a potentially fatal, but entirely avoidable condition. It was first reported in severely malnourished prisoners in World War II. Recently interest in the topic has seen a resurgence with the increased use of artificial nutrition and improved monitoring. In 2007, the National Institute for Clinical Excellence (NICE) has produced guidelines for the prevention and management of re-feeding syndrome.
