Dialysis Technician
Duties and
Responsibilities:
Dialysis
Technicians operate machines the 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 clean 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.
