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.
