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 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.
