MATERIALS AND METHODS
Single instituional
Prospective study
Duration over last 6months
Inclusion: ALL BRAIN AND SPINE SURGERIES
Exclusion: none
Control: 3 patients operated by same surgeon
elsewhere did not receive pranic healing
Various parameters analysed for outcome
DEMOGRAPHY
Total no. of patients-30
Male-16; female 14
Age range: 25 to 75, Mean age is 47
Total no. of Brain surgeries: 16
Total no. of spine surgeries: 14
METHODS
All patients were subjected to pranic healing as per protocol
for major pranic healing in Advanced pranic healing Book.
All patients had pre-op scanning documented
All patients were given pre-op healing
Most of the patients had intra-op healing
All patients were given post op healing
All patients were scanned every post operative day
Outcome measures documented from patient, surgeon,
assistant surgeon and case sheets and verified on prospective
basis.
OUTCOME PARAMETERS STUDIED
Duration of surgery (planned vs. actual)
Perceived difficulty of the surgery (planned vs.actual in a scale of
0 to 5)
Blood loss (expected vs. actual) by measuring the volume in
suction apparatus, gauze count and as estimated by anesthetist)
Recovery out of anesthesia
Icu stay
Pain score (pre-op, post-op, at discharge) scale of 1-10
GLASCOW COMA SCORE- TO ASSESS THE CONSCIOUS
LEVEL (Pre-op, post-op, at discharge)—scale of 3-15 (higher the
better)
ACTIVITY OF DAILY LIVING
OUTCOME PARAMETERS STUDIED
Neurological outcome-improved, stable, worsened
Date of suture removal
Duration of antibiotics
Duration of hospital stay
Any complications like, fever, wound infection,
DVT, chest infection, etc.
Pranic healing-scanning and documentation of aura,
chakkral size and level of energery daily
