Dialysis Technicians
Duties and Responsibilities:
Dialysis Technicians operate
machines that remove waste and excess fluids from the blood of patients whose
kidney 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 hospital 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 safely precautions
against infectious diseases such as hepatitis and AIDS.
