Since those with end stage renal disease can't handle the cleaning of the blood, a dialysis machine must be used. Creatine, excess electrolytes, and other buildup of byproducts of metabolism need to be cleansed periodically. It is the responsibility of a dialysis technician to mentally and physically prepare the patient for the procedure, which normally takes about three and a half to four hours daily, and to check his vital medical signs such as blood pressure and pulse rate. It is also the duty of a technician to keep the patient comfortable and the equipment working smoothly, before, during and after the operation. The dialysis technician is also an expert at cleaning and sterilizing the dialysis machine.. To fully better understand a patients overall appearance and mannerisms you must have good interpersonal skills to be able to detect problems with the patient. My websites: dialysis technician
