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 read 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 sterilizations; 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 cleaning 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.
