title: [Normovolemic hemodilution: application to the treatment of refractory cutaneous ulcers. Transfusion Techniques and Therapeutics Group].
abstract: Resistant cutaneous leg ulcers have a long evolution and are not easily cured by traditional therapeutics. Normovolemic haemodilution was proposed in 1984 by Guenneguez and Ouvry, who studied a small number of patients with good results, by using a local protocol, and a manual procedure. Recent data about physiopathology of cutaneous leg ulcers seem to confirm the benefit that Normovolemic Haemodilution should bring to the treatment of this pathology. Therefore a multidisciplinary group was created to lead a multicentric study about the treatment of resistant cutaneous leg ulcers by long term Normovolemic Haemodilution.
