On Apr. 15, 2020, a team at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania launched the U.S. component of a global registry that aims to help protect health care providers who intubate patients with COVID-19 and better quantify their risk of developing the disease.

The intubateCOVID registry – established by a team in the UK – tracks exposures and outcomes among providers who perform intubations, with the ultimate goal of reducing the transmission of COVID-19 to these providers.
