The Pope did not exhibit any additional episodes of respiratory failure or bronchospasm, according to the Vatican’s evening statement.
According to the statement, “He remained afebrile, always alert, cooperative with therapies, and well-oriented.”
Since mid-February, the 88-year-old pope has been receiving treatment for pneumonia in the hospital.
The Pope has started using a ventilator and oxygen mask to help him breathe after Monday’s events.
After spending two days on the ventilator after a “isolated” breathing crisis involving vomiting on Friday, the Vatican said this was the second time the mechanical intervention had been needed.
Pope Francis has returned to high-flow oxygen therapy, according to the Holy See’s statement on Tuesday.
He took turns praying and sleeping during the day, and this morning he was given the Eucharist.
