Pope Francis“The condition is not life-threatening, but it is not out of danger, his medical team said on Friday when the 88-year-old Pontiff noted his first week at the pneumonia hospital at the top of chronic bronchitis.
Francis doctors presented their first personal update as the Pope, saying he would remain hospitalized at least next week. The pope gets random oxygen supplements when he needs it and responds to enhanced medical therapy he receives to fight pneumonia and complex lung infectionHis doctors said on Friday.
Dr. Sergio Alfiera said at the Hemel Hospital that the condition of the pantiff was “a little better”, made it clear that he did not connect to any car, and said that Francis had hacked the jokes.
“The question is that the Pope is not dangerous?
Francis's personal doctor, Dr. Luigi Carbon, said the Pope had responded to medical therapy, which was reinforced after being diagnosed with pneumonia earlier this week. It also fights a multidisciplinary infection of bacteria and the virus in the respiratory tract. Doctors stated that there was no evidence that germs entered his blood is a condition known as sepsis, which, according to them, would be the biggest problem. Sepsis is a complication of infection that can lead to organs and death.
Francis also receives extra oxygen when it needs it through the nasal cannula, a thin flexible tube that provides oxygen through the nose.
Francis was confess On February 14, at the Hemli Hospital of Rome after the case of bronchitis deteriorated. Later, doctors diagnosed a complex respiratory infection that includes bacteria, virus and other organisms and the onset of pneumonia in both lungs from above asthmatic bronchitis. They prescribed “absolute rest”.
As his hospital stretches, some of the frances cardinals began to respond to the obvious question: whether Francis may resign if he becomes irreversibly ill and cannot continue. Francis said he would count it after Pope Benedict XVI “opened the door” to retire, but did not show any signs of care and actually claimed that the Pope's work was recently.
Prior to updating the medical team on Friday, the Vatican said Francis noted one week at staying in the hospital, getting out of bed to breakfast. At the end of Thursday, the Vatican reported on a “slight improvement” in its overall clinical state and its heart works well.
