The Vatican “Pope” is well frozen after the respiratory failure
The Vatican said that Pope Francis was getting well ignored and woke up after 8:00 local time (07:00 GMT) on Wednesday.
The Vatican said that the ink – which was in the hospital since February to receive treatment for pneumonia – spent tonight in “non -invasive mechanical ventilation” and is now returning to a highly flowing oxygen mask.
The Vatican said in a statement that it is free of fever, “Always in a state of alert, cooperative with treatments and well influenced,” the Vatican said in a statement. On Tuesday evening, they said that the Pope was stable After suffering two episodes of the respiratory failure the day before.
Meanwhile, the Pope’s traditional fans were canceled with Catholics for the third week.
The Vatican has published a text instead, but it does not contain any current references and it seems that it has been written some time ago.
The Pope will not be able to participate in the planned events to celebrate on Wednesday, the first day of the big fasting, which is a six -week period that leads to Easter.
In Rome, Catholics will participate in a procession to Santa Sabina Basilica, where the Pope usually attends and says the Mass. This year, the service will be taken instead by one of the Cardinals.
He does not have any planned visitors and there is no mention of him doing any work in the hospital, even reading, as there was previously.
After the two episodes, the Pope started using the oxygen mask and ventilation to help breathe.
The Vatican said this is the second time that mechanical intervention has been used, after spending two days on the artificial respiratory system in the wake of a “isolated” breathing crisis that includes vomiting on Friday.
On Tuesday’s update, the Apostolic Chair said that Pope Francis had returned to the treatment of high flow oxygen.
During the day, the rotation of prayer and comfort. He added this on Tuesday morning, he received the Eucharist.
He was unable to give Angelos prayer in person every day every day.
The 88 -year -old was accepted to the hospital on February 14th After trying breathing difficulties for several days.
He was first treated for bronchitis before diagnosing pneumonia in each of the lungs.
The ink is especially vulnerable to pneumonia, an infection of the lungs that bacteria, viruses or fungi can cause, after contracting the pleura – lung inflammation – when he was a young man and had a partial lung removal.
Sources of the Vatican stress, as they did all the time, that the Pope’s condition remains complicated – his doctors are still cautious – and it is not dangerous.
