Dialysis technicians
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 patient’s 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.
