A dialysis technician provides care for patients when their kidneys can no longer clean toxins from the blood or remove excess fluid. Dialysis Technicians are in charge of assembling the machine and making sure it is in proper working order. The technician checks a patient's chart, administers local anesthetic inserts dialysis needles, and initiates dialysis according to the MD’s. prescription. During dialysis, the technician checks the fluid removal rates and adjusts them as needed. The technician responds to any alarms or emergencies during the treatment process. After dialysis, the technician disconnects the machine, disinfects it, and records the patient's vital signs. The technician is an important part of a patient's care team, which includes doctors nurses, dietitians, and social workers. The technician notifies the registered nurse about the patient's emotional or physical concerns and collaborate about the treatment. A positive bedside manner, commitment to patient confidentiality and willingness to help educate the patient on care and maintenance are necessary. Upon completion of the Nephrology Technician Certification Course you will be able to guide the patient through the dialysis process.
