title: [4 years experience with the Ulm autologous transfusion concept].
abstract: After a 4-year period in clinical practice the autologous transfusion concept Ulm (ATU) has proved its value. The effort and expense involved are entirely justified by obvious medical advantages. The patients' active involvement in the therapeutic procedure is a remarkable aspect of positive motivation. Furthermore, the medical staff is positively motivated, too, in spite of the obvious additional load to their daily routine work.
