Dialysis Technician
Duties and Responsibilities:
Dialysis technicians
operate machines that remove waste and excess fluids from the blood of patients
whose kidneys can no longer carry out those functions. Dialysis technicians are
referred to as renal dialysis technicians, hemodialysis technicians, or
nephrology technicians. They work under
the supervision of physicians, primarily in hospitals and clinics.
Dialysis technicians must fully
understand the operation of the kidney dialysis machines. They are responsible for their operation,
cleaning, and sterilization. They must also fully understand their patient’s
needs. Dialysis technicians carefully monitor and record weight and vital signs
before, during, and after the blood cleansing procedures. Additionally, they
instruct patients about in-home treatments. Because dialysis technicians work
with blood, they must exercise strict safety precautions against infectious
diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS.
