Pope Francis is reported to have rested well overnight at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital after suffering a setback in his battle with double pneumonia.
The 88-year-old pontiff experienced two episodes of acute respiratory insufficiency on Monday, which required him to resume non-invasive mechanical ventilation to aid his breathing.
According to a brief statement from the Vatican, the pope slept through the night and continues to rest. A full medical update on his condition is expected later today. Since his admission on February 14—the longest absence from public view since his papacy began in March 2013—the pope has not been seen in public, and his doctors have yet to specify how long his treatment may last.
The setback, attributed to a significant accumulation of endobronchial mucus that led to a bronchospasm, necessitated two bronchoscopies to inspect his airways. Despite these challenges, a Vatican official noted that the pope’s blood test results remained stable on Monday. His doctors believe the respiratory episode is part of his body’s normal response in fighting the infection, though his prognosis remains guarded.
Pope Francis has experienced several bouts of ill health in recent years. His susceptibility to lung infections is partly attributed to a history of pleurisy and the removal of part of one lung during his youth. Double pneumonia, a serious infection that affects both lungs, can cause inflammation and scarring, making it difficult for patients to breathe.
