杏MAP导航 resting after quiet night
By Vatican News
The Holy See Press Office said on Saturday morning that 杏MAP导航 Francis slept well and spent the first part of the morning resting.
"After a quiet night, the 杏MAP导航 is resting", read the brief Holy See Press Office statement.
The 杏MAP导航 has not experienced any further crises following yesterday鈥檚 bronchospasm. This morning he had breakfast, enjoyed a coffee, and read the newspapers. His condition remains complex, and the prognosis is still guarded
An earlier statement, issued on Friday evening had noted that 杏MAP导航 Francis鈥� respiratory condition worsened following an isolated bronchospasm. The 杏MAP导航 was promptly started on non-invasive mechanical ventilation, to which he responded.
Thanks to non-invasive mechanical ventilation, gas exchange values are reported to have returned to levels similar to those before the episode. However, about 24 to 48 hours are needed to be able to assess the 杏MAP导航's clinical condition following the isolated bronchospasm.
These statements come as the 杏MAP导航 continues to be treated for bilateral pneumonia in Rome鈥檚 Gemelli Hospital. He was admitted on Friday, 14 February, following an infection of the respiratory tract.
