| 03/3/2025
The episodes were caused by the accumulation of mucus, which was aspirated both times. Non-invasive mechanical ventilation was then resumed
On Monday evening, the Holy See Press Office released the following update on Pope Francis’ health:
“Today, the Holy Father suffered two episodes of acute respiratory insufficiency, caused by a significant accumulation of endobronchial mucus and consequent bronchospasm.
“Two bronchoscopies were therefore performed, with the need to remove large secretions.
“In the afternoon, non-invasive mechanical ventilation was resumed. The Holy Father remained alert, oriented, and cooperative at all times.
“The prognosis remains guarded.”
