Pope Receiving Supplemental Oxygen Following Respiratory Crisis: Vatican

POPE Francis was conscious but still receiving high flows of supplemental oxygen Sunday following a respiratory crisis and blood transfusions, as he remains in critical condition with a complex lung infection, the Vatican said.

"The night passed quietly, the pope rested," Vatican spokesman Matteo Bruni said in an early statement.

Further clinical tests were being performed on the 88-year-old pope, who had part of one lung removed as a young man, and a more detailed medical update was expected later on Sunday, Bruni said.
