Pope Francis Overcomes Respiratory Distress Crisis... Vatican Reports "Sound Sleep and Rest Overnight"
Pope Francis is reported to have overcome a respiratory distress crisis.
The Vatican announced on the morning of the 4th (local time) that after experiencing two episodes of acute respiratory failure, the Pope had additional restful sleep without further complications. The Vatican stated, "The Pope slept well throughout the night and has continued to rest since then."
After showing signs of recovery, the Pope experienced respiratory difficulties again the previous day, leading to the resumption of ventilator treatment. In an evening statement, the Vatican said, "The Pope suffered two episodes of acute respiratory failure due to mucus accumulation in the bronchi," adding, "Bronchoscopy and procedures were performed to remove the mucus from the bronchi." They continued, "Ventilator treatment was resumed," and "During treatment, the Pope remained conscious, oriented, and cooperative with the procedures."
Earlier, on the 28th of last month, the Pope's condition, which had been improving, temporarily worsened, causing vomiting and respiratory distress.
Although the condition seemed to stabilize afterward, the recurrence of respiratory distress the previous day raised renewed concerns about the Pope's health.
The Pope was admitted to Rome's Gemelli Hospital on the 14th of last month due to respiratory illness. Pneumonia was confirmed in both lungs, and his condition is serious, marking the longest hospitalization since his inauguration in March 2013. This marks the 19th day of hospitalization.
