Pope Francis’s Respiratory Condition Worsens Due to Bronchospasm

The 88-year-old Pontiff, Pope Francis, has experienced a worsening of his respiratory condition following an isolated episode of bronchospasm, the Vatican announced on Friday.

According to the Holy See press office, Pope Francis spent the morning alternating between respiratory physiotherapy and prayer in the chapel, but he later experienced an isolated episode of bronchospasm, which led to an episode of vomiting and a sudden worsening of his respiratory condition.

The pontiff was promptly subjected to bronchial aspiration to clear his airways and was put on non-invasive mechanical ventilation, which improved his oxygen levels. Despite the challenges, the 88-year-old has remained alert and aware, cooperating with his therapeutic treatment.

Pope Francis has been hospitalized at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital since February 14, receiving treatment for double pneumonia. He was elected as Pope Benedict XVI’s successor at the age of 76 on March 13, 2013.
