Pope Francis spent the night without
mechanical ventilation, the Vatican said Tuesday as he continues
to battle pneumonia in a Rome hospital.
Last night, it said, the 88-year-old Argentine pontiff did not
use mechanical ventilation but was helped with high-flow oxygen.
"So no mask for the whole night", the Vatican press office
reported.
"Caution is still needed because it is not a definitive stop but
a progressive reduction", it added.
Just as during the day, high-flow oxygen is being reduced to
switch to ordinary oxygenation.
