Pope Francis remains stable after undergoing two episodes of respiratory failure on Monday.
In his night update, the Vatican said the Pope did not present additional episodes of respiratory failure or bronchospasm.
“He remains afebrile, always alert, collaboration with therapies and well -oriented,” the statement said.
The 88-year-old Ponif is in hospital as mid-February treats pneumonia.
After the episodes on Monday, the Pope began using an oxygen mask and fan to help his breathing.
This was the second time the mechanical intervention was used after spending two days on the fan after an “isolated” respiratory crisis involving vomiting on Friday, the Vatican said.
In the update on Tuesday, the Holy See said Pope Francis had returned to high -flow oxygen therapy.
During the day he alternates prayer and rest, and this morning he received the Eucharist, she added.
Pope Francis must miss the procession and liturgy on Wednesday, who celebrate the first day of Lent, the six -week period leading to Easter.
He failed to personally give his traditional Angel prayer on each of the last three Sundays.
The Pope was admitted to hospital on February 14th After testing difficulties in breathing for several days.
For the first time, he was treated for bronchitis before being diagnosed with pneumonia in both lungs.
Pontiphic is particularly susceptible to pneumonia, lung infection, which can be caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi, after it has become infected with pleurisy – inflammation of the lungs – as a young person and there was partial removal of the lungs.
Vatican sources emphasize, as all the time, that the pope's condition remains complicated – his doctors remain cautious – and he is not out of danger.
