Pope Francis has encountered significant breathing difficulties as he continues treatment in a Rome hospital, now entering its third week. After an isolated bronchospasm crisis which led to vomit inhalation, his medical team placed him on a ventilator. Although he has shown some improvement in his oxygen levels and remains alert, the prognosis is still critical. He has missed several key appearances including upcoming Ash Wednesday celebrations, with the Vatican urging prayers for his health as updates are closely monitored by followers globally.
"The Pope remained alert and oriented at all times, collaborating in the therapeutic maneuvers."
"Based on measurements of oxygen in his blood, he had responded well to that treatment."
