Pope Francis, in hospital with pneumonia, suffered a breathing “crisis” on Friday, which caused him to vomit, but he was given air and responded well, the Vatican said.
“The Holy Father presented an isolated crisis of bronchospasm, which… led to an episode of vomiting with inhalation and a sudden worsening of the respiratory picture.
“The Holy Father promptly underwent broncho-aspiration and began non-invasive mechanical ventilation, with a good response on gas exchange. The Holy Father remained alert and oriented at all times,” the Vatican said.
