RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of midodrine as a prophylaxis against post-spinal hypotension in elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial included elderly patients undergoing hip arthroplasty under spinal anesthesia. Ninety minutes before the procedure, patients were randomized to receive either 5-mg midodrine or placebo (metoclopramide). After spinal anesthesia, mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate were monitored every 2 min for 20 min then every 5 min until the end of the procedure. Post-spinal hypotension (MAP < 80% baseline) was treated with 10 mg ephedrine. The primary outcome was intraoperative ephedrine consumption. Secondary outcomes were the incidence of post-spinal hypotension, bradycardia, and hypertension (MAP increased by > 20% of the baseline reading). RESULTS: We analyzed 29 patients in the midodrine group and 27 in the control group. The intraoperative ephedrine consumption was lower in the midodrine group than in the control group (median [quartiles]: 10 [0, 30] mg versus 30 [20, 43] mg, respectively, P-value: 0.002); and the incidence of intraoperative hypotension was lower in the midodrine group than that in the control group. The incidence of hypertension and bradycardia were comparable between the two groups. CONCLUSION: The use of 5 mg oral midodrine decreased the vasopressor requirements and incidence of hypotension after spinal anesthesia for hip surgery in elderly patients.

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of oleic acid (OA) on glucose homeostasis in mice fed a standard chow diet (SCD) and a high-fructose, high-fat diet (HFrHFD); moreover, the role of free fatty acid receptor 1 (FFAR1) was evaluated. The mice in the two groups were further divided into three subgroups as follows: control, OA (40 mg/kg), and OA + GW1100 (0.4 mg/kg, selective FFAR1 blocker). After a 16-week feeding period, the mice received the drugs via intraperitoneal (i.p.) injection followed by an i.p. glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) 30 min later. After 3 days, the mice received the same drugs to examine the effects of the drugs on the hepatic levels of phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and diacylglycerol (DAG). OA in the SCD-fed mice significantly increased the blood glucose level (48%, P < 0.001) after 30 min of glucose load compared to that in the control group, but did not affect the levels of PIP2 and DAG. Pre-injection with GW1100 significantly decreased the area under the curve of the IPGTT (28%, P < 0.05) in the SCD group compared to that in the SCD + OA group. OA reduced the blood glucose level (35%, P < 0.001) after 120 min of glucose load in the HFrHFD-fed mice; in addition, it increased hepatic PIP2 (160%, P < 0.01) and decreased hepatic DAG (60%, P < 0.001) levels. Pre-injection with GW1100 blocked the effects of OA on hepatic PIP2 and DAG without affecting the glucose tolerance. In conclusion, OA acutely impaired the glucose tolerance in the SCD-fed mice by acting on FFAR1 but did not improve it in the HFrHFD-fed mice.
