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 hospitals and clinics.
Dialysis technicians must
fully understand the operation of the kidney dialysis machines. They are
responsible for their operation, cleaning, ad sterilization. They must also
fully understand their patients’ need. Dialysis technicians carefully monitor
and record weight and vital signs before, during, and after the blood cleansing
about in-home treatments. Because dialysis technicians work with blood, they
must exercise strict safety precautions against infectious diseases such as
hepatitis AIDS.
