Prognosis cautious
Pope now needs oxygen again
Pope Francis suffered another two respiratory crises on Monday (see video above). According to the Vatican, his condition is now "stable" again. The pontiff is awake and fever-free, it was reported on Tuesday evening. Nevertheless, he had to be given oxygen again.
The Pope underwent respiratory physiotherapy on Tuesday, the Vatican announced. He will continue to receive "non-invasive mechanical ventilation" on Wednesday night. The prognosis remains cautious.
In the morning, the Vatican had said that Francis' situation was stable but still "complex". He is still not out of danger. Two bronchoscopies recently had to be carried out at the Gemelli Clinic in Rome to remove secretions. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation was then resumed.
In hospital for 19 days
Concern for the Pope, who had already suffered a respiratory crisis on Friday, remains high. He has now been in the Gemelli Clinic in Rome for 19 days, the longest he has ever been during his almost twelve years in office. He is being treated for bilateral pneumonia. He has not been seen in public since his admission.
The faithful regularly pray for the sick Pope. On Tuesday evening, many people gathered again in St. Peter's Square to pray the rosary together. A different high-ranking church representative presides over the prayer every evening.
