Abstract
Novel methods for the treatment of tissue damage resulting from cell membrane permeabilization due to electrical injury are disclosed. Such methods include treatment with a surface active copolymer which is herein shown to promote membrane repair. The administration of Poloxamer 188 is shown to reduce tissue inflammation and damage following electrical injury in vivo. Also disclosed are methods for the treatment of cell and tissue damage after electrical injury using a surface active copolymer in combination with a high energy phosphate compound capable of recharging cellular energy stores and potentiating cell repair and survival. Compositions comprising surface active copolymers for intravenous, intramuscular, and topical use are also disclosed, along with novel compositions comprising a combination of a surface active copolymer and a high energy phosphate compound.
