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 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.
