Rome, 1 Mar. (LaPresse) – Pope Francis is ‘always vigilant and oriented. In the afternoon he received the Eucharist, then devoted himself to prayer. The prognosis remains reserved’. This was announced by the press office of the Holy See in the evening bulletin on the condition of Pope Francis, who has been hospitalised at the Gemelli since 14 February. ‘The Holy Father's clinical conditions have remained stable. He has alternated non-invasive mechanical ventilation with long periods of high-flow oxygen therapy, always maintaining a good response to gas exchange. The Holy Father is apyretic and shows no leukocytosis. His haemodynamic parameters have always remained stable; he has continued to feed himself and has regularly undergone respiratory physiotherapy, cooperating actively. He has not presented any episodes of bronchospasm,' it continues.
