Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. IVCCI as a determinant of intravascular volume status.(average of 3 readings)
2. Sleep score as determined by the wrist sleep tracking device (average reading of 3
preoperative days).
3. Serum cortisol and CRP levels (taken 8PM previous day, 8AM in the morning, 2
hours after induction of anaesthesia and 24 hours after surgery). 
serum stress biomarkers taken 8PM previous day, 8AM in the morning, 2
hours after surgery and 24 hours after surgery 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Relation between sleep score (as measured by wrist sleep tracking
device) and stress markers (Cortisol).
Relation between in hospital sleep score and the PSQI score (sleep
quality over previous one month)

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
In this study we will be investigating associations between psychoneurological parameters (sleep quality), cortisol, and inflammatory markers altogether in newly diagnosed HNC patients
undergoing elective tumor resection surgery. This will help in understanding the role of sleep quality and duration of pre-operative fasting in determining perioperative stress response
in head and neck cancer patients undergoing tumor resection surgery.

Primary objective:
1. Relation between IVCCI (as a measure of intravascular volume depletion) and stress marker levels (Serum cortisol).
Secondary Objective:
. Relation between sleep score (as measured by wrist sleep tracking device) and stress markers (Cortisol).
Relation between in hospital sleep score and the PSQI score (sleep quality over previous one month)
