PREAMBLE
Lung cancer significantly influences individuals and society. The
mortality rate of the disease is high and its negative personal,
social and economic consequences are important. Reducing its
incidence and mortality rate is achievable through focussing on the
early stage of the disease and comprehensive care. Early diagnosis,
treatment, research, education, outcome analysis, and follow-up are
all of equal interest in the program strategy of the CBC. The health
of the individual is right at its centre.
THORaxUN® This is an initiative of CBC Vznik which strives for
the integration of professional skills in various medical
specialties through the cultivation of collaboration. The goal –
optimized health care in each particular patient – is achieved with
the independent and productive merger of individual aspects of
governmental, non-governemental, academic and research institutions,
including industry and public facilities.

NITS RATIONALE
What´s matter in non-intubated thoracic surgery
through its classical (NITS i.e. Non-intubated Thoracic Surgery) or
upgraded (NIVATS i.e. Non-intubated Videoassisted Thoracic Surgery)
style? The intersection of western concepts of physiological
operative (František Burian), unity of knowledge (Edward O. Wilson),
and sustainable development (Gro Harlem Brundtland) with eastern
capabilities and courage (Jin-Shing Chen)This represents a new
invitation in getting to know the secret of breathing (Edward Babák;
Ya-Jung Cheng).

MERATS Purpose
MUNI trial enhanced recovery after thoracic surgery
Three-years trial (2023-2025) belonging to the physician initiated
originates on the basis of European Society of Thoracic Surgeons
Guidelines for enhanced recovery after lung surgery focused on the
improvement of the management in the thoracic surgical patient.
Electronically collected records of every individual items would be
put to research. The outcome will provide authentic data for precise
decision making process, medical and organizational. The work is
voluntary.
MERATS Rationale
Correct data are needed for right decision making process. MERATS
intention is to provide information by using Guidelines for enhanced
recovery after lung surgery (EJCTS 55 (2019) 91-115). The trial
postulates different legitimate solutions of identical items arising
from routine practice. Every item of the protocol enables the
implementation of authentic decision: 1 yes 0 no 2 adjusted 3 other.
All participating specialists contribute into common independently
obtainable database. All accomplishments of the postulate will be
registered, reasoned, and followed up. The results are processed
electronically to confirm optimal solutions. The analysis of the
results will get to the heart of reflected innovation of individual
items.
