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 technician.
They work under the supervision of physician’s 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 cleaning 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 a hepatitis and AIDS.
