Pope Francis suffered on Monday two episodes of acute respiratory failure, on his tenth eighth day admitted to the Gemelli hospital in Rome, but at all times he has remained lucid, the Holy See reported.
“Today the Holy Father presented two episodes of acute respiratory failure caused by an important accumulation of endobronchial mucus,” reads the daily statement.
These episodes caused a new “bronchospasm” crisis.
Therefore, two bronchoscopies were practiced and the “abundant secretions” have been aspirated.
Francisco had to resume “non -invasive” mechanical ventilation.
The Pontiff, according to the Vatican, remains “always lucid, oriented and collaborator.”
The 88 -year -old pontiff is admitted to the Gemelli Hospital in Rome since February 14 by bronchitis with polymicrobial infection to which bilateral pneumonia joined.
The prognosis remains “reserved”, that is, doctors do not clarify the possible evolution of their clinical status.
