Zusammenfassung:Introduction Nasogastric tube feeding against a person's will, under restraint, can be a lifesaving intervention for patients with severe anorexia nervosa. Dietetic guidelines have been developed to support dietitians in this specialised area. Methods A modified Delphi process was used in the development of the guidelines; stage 1, initial stakeholders created a draft; stage 2, creation of the working group; stage 3, comments and feedback on draft; stage 4, final draft agreed; stage 5, external review from Psychiatrists, patients and carers; stage 6, endorsement. Specialist mental health dietitians working in both adult and Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) across four countries contributed to the development of the consensus guidelines. Results New guidance is outlined specifically for NGT feeding under restraint, which details the process, rate and volume of feed to comply with lawful guidance. Conclusions Clinical guidelines were developed for dietitians treating patients with anorexia nervosa, using a modified Delphi process, incorporating both expert opinion and all available evidence. The guidance provides new information to dietitians and clinicians in how to enterally feed patients under restraint where none previously existed.
