well, i don't know  where to find a quiz, however i am a respiratory therapist and use these everyday\n\nhere are some ideas\nokay normal ph in your body is 7.35-7.45 <7.4 is acidic, and >7.4 is basic (alkalotic)\n\nthink of hco3 (bicarb) your buffer, it raises the ph\n\nthink of co2 acidic.. it lowers the ph\n\no2 levels are normal if they are >80 (remember copd pts will have 50's and that will be normal\n\nok... \nexample 7.30ph, 55 pco2, 80 po2, and 29 hco3\nthat is an acidic ph.. its acidic because the person isn't blowing off co2, the normal co2 is 35-45, its 55\n\nthe hco3 isn't raised up high enough to buffer the acidity.. so the blood gas is uncompensated, meaning the hco3 and co2 will usually compensate for one another.\n\nthis gas is an u ncompensated respiratory acidosis, with normal oxygenation\n\nnext gas 7.38ph, pco2 is 50, hco3 is 40, and po2 is 50\nthis is a normal ph, with elevated pco2, the ph is an acidic ph.. however in normal level, notice the hco3 is elevated.. it compensated for the raised co2\nalso notice the po2 this is normal for co2 retainers (copd patients). \n\nthis gas is a compensated respiratory acidosis with hypozemia (however normal for the copd patient)\n\nokay next gas\n7.50ph, with 35pco2, hco3 42 po2 is 70\nthis is an uncompensated metabolic alkalosis.. the  pco2 is normal.. not compensating..\n\nnext gas 7.20ph, 5 pco2, hco3 10\nthis is an partialy compensated metabolic acidosis.. meaning that the pco2 is trying to make up for the loss of bicarb.. this is a blood gas that you will find with a diabetic keto acidosis patient.\n\nnext gas 7.48ph, pco2 25 hco3 20\nthis is a gas that is uncpmpensatted respiratory alkalosis.. t his patient might have a respiratory ailment that is causing them to hyperventalate... blowing off too much co2\n\nthe hco3 will trend down to compensate\ni hope this helped

I find blood gas, acid/base and renal medicine MUCH worse. Electrophysiology has never bugged me that much. So I'm  not much help, sorry.

Rote memorization, with flashcards possibly, is the only way I can think of. Like the other poster said, look for carbonyls, alcohols, alkenes, and amino peaks (a weak, wide peak at about ... 3200 or so)

I'm sure there's a shop that could sell you a clue. That would be a nice start. Then you could ask a question that is specific enough that you can get a useful answer.

This is not the best place for such scientific studies,try specialized sites such as: medscape or the Lancet journals
