Pope Francis' health condition remains stable, according to the latest medical report released by the Vatican. Despite the complexity of the clinical picture, the Pontiff has maintained stable hemodynamic parameters and continues to respond well to treatment.

The Vatican Press Office has reported that the Holy Father has alternated non-invasive mechanical ventilation with long periods of high-flow oxygen therapy, thus achieving "a good response to gas exchange." In addition, he has not presented fever or signs of infection, since "he is apyretic and shows no leukocytosis," indicating that his immune system has not detected significant infections.

He continues his routine with physical therapy and prayer.

Pope Francis continues to feed himself and has been actively cooperating in his respiratory physiotherapy sessions, which is a good sign. The doctors have also confirmed that "he has not presented any episode of bronchospasm"a respiratory complication that could have complicated his condition.

"The Holy Father is always vigilant and oriented," the specialists emphasized. During the afternoon, he received the Eucharist and has devoted some time to prayer.

Prudence in forecasting

Although the evolution of Pope Francis has been positive in the last 24 hours, doctors insist that the prognosis remains guarded and it is necessary to wait for the next few days to better assess his recovery. The Holy See continues to ask for prayers for his health.
