Hyperbaric oxygen therapy improved postoperative ileus in a patient with anorexia nervosa. This treatment also enhanced gut motility, induced hunger, and increased food intake, suggesting its potential for anorectic patients.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Hyperbaric Medicine
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by self-starvation and food refusal.
  • Postoperative ileus is a common complication following abdominal surgery, leading to gastrointestinal dysfunction.
  • Severe bloating and resistance to food ingestion are significant challenges in managing anorexia nervosa.

Observation:

  • A patient with anorexia nervosa developed postoperative ileus after surgery.
  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy was administered to address the ileus.
  • The patient experienced improvement in ileus and enhanced intestinal movement.

Findings:

  • Hyperbaric oxygen therapy led to a resolution of postoperative ileus.
  • Treatment with hyperbaric oxygen stimulated intestinal motility.

  • The therapy induced a sensation of hunger and increased the patient's food ingestion.

    • Implications:

    • Hyperbaric oxygen may be a viable initial treatment for anorexia nervosa patients with severe bloating and food intake resistance.
    • This approach could offer a novel therapeutic strategy for improving gastrointestinal function and nutritional rehabilitation in anorexia nervosa.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the efficacy and mechanisms of hyperbaric oxygen in treating eating disorders.
