Vatican City – The medical bulletin released by the Vatican confirms a positive signal: Pope Francis is responding well to therapy. His clinical conditions remain stable and, according to doctors, this already represents an improvement.
Since Monday, no respiratory crises have been recorded, although the prognosis remains reserved due to the complexity of the clinical picture. However, there is talk of a "gradual, slight improvement", also highlighted by good gas exchange, an indication of the correct functioning of cellular oxygenation.
The Pope continues to be supported with oxygen: during the day through high flows, at night with non-invasive mechanical ventilation. Respiratory physiotherapy also continues, while blood tests remain stable and the Pope continues to be afebrile, that is, without fever.
Doctors maintain a cautious approach, believing it necessary to monitor the evolution of the clinical picture in the coming days. At the moment, it is not certain that an official bulletin will be released today: an update is expected for Monday evening, while any new information will be provided by the Holy See Press Office today.
