STORYLINE:
The Vatican says Pope Francis slept through the night and was resting on Tuesday morning, after having suffered two new episodes of acute respiratory crises and being put back on noninvasive mechanical ventilation.
Doctors extracted “copious” amounts of mucus from his lungs in another setback in what has become a more than two-week battle to overcome a complex respiratory infection and pneumonia.
In a late update Monday, the Vatican said the episodes were caused by a “significant accumulation” of mucus in his lungs and bronchial spasms.
“Two bronchoscopies were performed with the need for aspiration of copious secretions,” the Vatican said.
Francis remained alert, oriented and cooperated with medical personnel.
The prognosis remained guarded, meaning he was not out of danger. Doctors didn’t say if he remained in stable condition, though they referred to the crises in the past tense, suggesting they were over.
