The registry, first created by U.K. researchers, includes data on clinician exposure and outcomes for more than 1,550 intubations.
Physicians, certified registered nurse anesthetists, anesthesiologist assistants and other clinicians who perform airway management procedures can access the registry. These providers are encouraged to input data for every COVID-19 intubation performed at their facility, including information on what airway technique was used and what type of personal protective equipment the clinician wore.
The goal is to better understand the risks associated with intubations and discern how to best protect clinicians.
At present, more than 2,000 providers from 500 hospitals are part of the global registry.
