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.
