Pope Francis no longer requires artificial lung ventilation at night and is much less in need of oxygen therapy in the afternoon. This was reported by the Vatican press service on March 19, emphasizing that the state of the Holy Father is gradually improving.
According to official information, the clinical condition of the Pope continues to improve. The pontiff stopped using non -invasive mechanical ventilation, and reduced the need for high -flow oxygen therapy. In addition, measures from motor and respiratory physiotherapy are progressing.
The Vatican doctors noted that the pope's pulmonary infections are "under control, although not eliminated" and the test indicators are within normal limits. However, full recovery has not been achieved.
Pope Francis has been treated with bilateral pneumonia since February 14. Due to the anemia caused by low platelet levels, he was transfused. February 23 reported initial renal failure, and on February 28 it became known about the deterioration of breathing due to bronchospasm.
