Care for Pope Francis: Break Crisis again in the hospital!

Pope Francis has to fight with severe breathing problems again. On Monday, the 88-year-old suffered two episodes of acute respiratory insufficiency, which draws alarming attention to his state of health. According to a message from the Vatican, the Pope had to be treated due to a significant accumulation of mucus in the lungs and the resulting cramp of the muscles of the airways. In the Gemelli Clinic in Rome, where it has been lying for 19 days, two bronchoscopies were carried out to suck off secretions. In addition, a non-invasive mechanical ventilation was resumed in the afternoon, such as oe24.at reported.

Despite the serious situation, Pope Francis remained awake, oriented and cooperative during the entire treatment, according to the doctors. However, the Vatican does not give a detailed forecast of its health, which further increases the concern for its step backwards. The Pope had a similar acute respiratory crisis on Friday, and the medical supervision of his lung health had been intensified since the first hospital stay on February 14, originally due to continuing bronchitis. In another report by gala.de it was confirmed that the night remains well, but the forecast remains according to the treating doctors reserved.
