Pope Francis' respiratory condition worsened after a bronchospasm on Friday, prompting non-invasive mechanical ventilation. The Vatican says the Pontiff remains alert and responsive to treatment.
The Holy See Press Office confirmed on Friday evening that Pope Francis suffered an isolated bronchospasm, leading to a brief deterioration in his health. The 87-year-old Pontiff experienced vomiting, which resulted in some inhalation, affecting his breathing.
Following the episode, medical staff at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital performed bronchial aspiration to clear his airways and placed him on non-invasive mechanical ventilation. The Vatican stated that his oxygen levels improved after the intervention.
Despite the health setback, Pope Francis has remained conscious and cooperative with treatments. Earlier in the day, he underwent respiratory physiotherapy and prayer in the hospital chapel.
Doctors remain cautious about his prognosis, noting that 24 to 48 hours will be needed to fully assess his condition. He has been receiving treatment for bilateral pneumonia since his hospital admission on 14 February.
