Pope Francis experienced a concerning episode of bronchospasm this afternoon, which led to vomiting and a sudden worsening of his respiratory condition. Fortunately, medical personnel swiftly intervened, performing bronchial aspiration to clear his airways and placing him on non-invasive mechanical ventilation. This prompt treatment has improved his oxygen levels, and the Vatican continues to closely monitor his health.

The Pope’s health has been a concern lately, as he was hospitalized on February 14 for bronchitis and has been undergoing treatment for bilateral pneumonia. Despite his condition being described as “critical but stable,” he has shown slight improvements and remains alert and oriented.

The Vatican has been providing regular updates on the Pope’s health, and it’s clear that he is receiving top-notch care. The Holy See Press Office has been releasing statements on his condition, and it’s reassuring to know that he is being closely monitored.
