After a slight improvement, Pope Francis suffered two breathing crises again on Monday. “Today, the Holy Father suffered two cases of acute respiratory insufficiency, which were caused by a significant accumulation of endobronchial mucus and a resulting bronchospasm,” said the Vatican.
As a result, two bronchoscopies were performed in which secretions had to be extracted. The non-invasive mechanical ventilation was resumed in the afternoon. “The Holy Father always remained awake and cooperative. The prediction remains reserved, “said it in the message.
