Pope had coughing fit, inhaled vomit, his prognosis remains guarded, Vatican says
03/01/2025
Pope Francis suffered an isolated coughing fit on Friday (February 28, 2025) that resulted in him inhaling vomit, requiring non-invasive mechanical ventilation, the Vatican said in relaying a setback in his two-week long battle against double pneumonia.
The 88-year-old pope remained conscious and alert at all times and cooperated with the maneuvers to help him recover. He responded well, with a good level of oxygen exchange and was continuing to wear a mask to receive supplemental oxygen, the Vatican said.
