Title: EXPLAIN THE ESSENTIAL FEATURES OF PHYSIOLOGICAL HOMEOSTASIS GIVE EXAMPLES OF HOW THESE MECHANISMS CAN DISRUPTED DURING CRITICAL ILLNESS AND MEASURES WE MAY THEN NEED TO TAKE TO MAINTAIN PHYSIOLOGICAL BALANCE Word Count: 2500 excluding the references Please make sure to use valid references up to date last 5 years from reliable sources Such as college-level books, peer-reviewed journals, or encyclopaedias (Main journals such as ICM, CCM, JAMA, or critical care, Annals of IC, Journal of IC, Journal of CC, Jama, Lancet, Nejm, American Journal of Respiratory and CCM, The blue journal lancet respiratory medicine, PubMed, OH’S intensive care manual) Make sure please to use (Vancouver style) please make sure to use headings. Marking Criteria: Well-structured paper, writing clear and focused with coherently developed content. Relevant/contemporary evidence used to support the discussion. References are cited accurately using a consistent system. Thorough discussion of the concept of homeostasis and the process in physiological feedback loops to achieve homoeostasis with reference to sensors, integration and effector mechanisms. Thorough discussion of Physiological processes involved in homeostasis with reference to normal physiology, the breakdown of normal physiology and how these are artificially replaced/supported during care of the critically ill patient. This discussion should focus on 2-3 physiological systems in some depth rather than attempting to cover all systems. Figures (suggested 2) and tables (suggested 1-2) supporting the discussion and comparing and contrasting physiological mechanism in health and their replacement in disease between different organ systems. A succinct conclusion is provided.
