Pope Francis had peaceful night, is resting after breathing crisis, Vatican says

Pope Francis, 88, had a peaceful night and is resting after a breathing crisis, the Vatican said on Saturday.

Francis had an isolated breathing crisis on Friday requiring non-invasive, mechanical ventilation, the Vatican said. He had experienced a bronchospasm that led to an episode of vomiting and inhalation. He then began non-invasive ventilation and was responding well.

The pontiff still remains conscious and alert.

Francis was admitted to the hospital on Feb. 14 after a week-long bout of bronchitis worsened. Doctors first diagnosed the complex viral, bacterial and fungal respiratory tract infection and subsequently the onset of pneumonia in both lungs.
