Article Abstract:
A discussion on homeostasis and its role in maintaining stable bodily conditions includes acid-base balance and explores blood gas analysis, related conditions and nursing care. It is recommended that, where possible, support in the form of fluid management, drug therapy or mechanical support, should be given if the body's own mechanisms are unable to cope with the demand.
