Pope Francis Health Update: Vatican Confirms Worsening Respiratory Condition
The Pope Francis health update reveals a sudden decline in his respiratory condition after a bronchospasm attack caused vomiting with inhalation.
A bronchospasm is a severe coughing episode. The pope underwent broncho aspiration and received non-invasive mechanical ventilation, showing a positive response to treatment, the Vatican confirmed.
Hospitalized in Rome since February 14, Pope Francis remains alert and responsive while receiving medical care. However, doctors say his prognosis remains uncertain.
Over the next 24 to 48 hours, specialists will assess the attack’s impact and determine any further risks to his health.
Earlier Friday, the Vatican stated the pope had a peaceful night and continues recovering under medical supervision.
