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 also 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 patients’ 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.
