Observed also is a “slight improvement in his motor and respiratory situation.” The “non-invasive mechanical ventilation continues to diminish at night as does the high flow oxygenation during the day.”
The Holy See Press Office’s note stated that “Last night [Monday, March 17] he did not use mechanical ventilation, but high flows. It’s good news that must be taken with caution, as the decrease is gradual.”
The Pontiff spent the day “between therapies, prayer and some activity,” it added, affirming as well that “The Pope continues to follow a diet prescribed by the doctors, which includes solid foods.”
