Pope Francis rests at Italy Hospital after the bride spasm

Pope Francis was resting on Saturday After an anxious setback In his recovery for two weeks of double pneumonia: Doctors had to put it on an expanded mechanical ventilation after the cough is suitable, as he inhaled the vomiting that he needed to extract after that.

Doctors said that it will take one or two days to assess how and if the episode affects the comprehensive clinical condition of Francis. His diagnosis has been guarding, which means that it was not dangerous.

In its summary Saturday morning update, The Vatican said: “The night has gone quietly, and the Pope is resting.”

On the late Friday update, the Vatican said that the 88 -year -old suffered a “isolated crisis of bronchial spasm”, a seizure cough by Francis inhalation, which led to a “sudden exacerbation of the respiratory image.”

Doctors cleared vomiting and put Francis on non -invasive mechanical ventilation.

The Pope remained aware and familiar with all times and cooperated with maneuvers to help him recover.

The Vatican said he had responded well, with a good level of oxygen exchange and was continuing to wear a mask to receive complementary oxygen.

This episode, which occurred early in the afternoon, was a setback in two consecutive days of increasingly optimistic reports from doctors who were treating Francis at Gemili Hospital in Rome since February 14.

The Pope, which was part of the lung that was removed when a young man, suffered from lung disease and was accepted after bad bronchitis and turned into pneumonia in both lungs.

Doctors say the episode is anxious

The Vatican said that the episode was different from the long respiratory crisis on February 22, as it was an isolated cramping that led to Francis’s confusion over the vomiting he produced.

Dr. John Coleman, a pulmonary pulmonary doctor in Western Shamali Medicine in Chicago, said that the episode that was transferred by the Vatican was disturbing and the fragility of Francis and that his condition “could turn very quickly.”

“I think this is very worrying, given the fact that the Pope was now in hospital for more than two weeks, and now he continues to obtain these respiratory events and now has this ambitious event that requires higher levels of support,” he told Associated Press.

“Looking at his life, fragile condition and the eradication of the previous lung, this is anxiety,” added Coleman, who did not participate in the sponsorship of Francis.

Dr. William Feldman, a pulmonary specialist at Brigham Hospital and Boston Women Hospital, said it was a good sign that the Pope remained alert and directed towards the ring, but he agreed to be a “worrying turning point.”

“We often use unintended ventilation as a way to try to avoid in -disturbance, or use gas mechanical ventilation,” said Feldman.

The types of non -expanded ventilation include a BIPAP machine, which helps people breathe by pushing the air to their lungs.

Doctors often try such a device for a while to see if the patient’s blood levels are improving so that they can eventually return to the use of oxygen alone.

Doctors have not resumed, indicating that Francis was in a “critical condition”, which was absent from their data for three days so far. But they say it is not dangerous, given the complexity of his case.

The prayers continued to flow

Late Friday, the closest friend of Francis in the bureaucracy in the Vatican, Cardinal Victor Manuel Fernadiz, led the night prayer in Saint Peter’s Square to pray for the health of Francis.

With the presence of other Cardinals who were assembled against the night cold, Fernández urged the crowd to pray not only for Francis but for others, as the Pope does itself.

“It is certain that it is close to the heart of the Holy Father that our prayers are not only for him, but also for all those at this dramatic moment and suffering in the world carrying the burden of difficult war, disease and poverty,” said Fernandez, head of the Vatican doctrine.

Also Friday, the Vatican published a document signed by Francis on February 26 from “GEMLI Polyclinic”, a new official line that showed that Francis was still working from the hospital.
