The 88-year-old pope, who remains conscious, received «high flows» of oxygen to help him breathe. He also received blood transfusions after tests showed low counts of platelets, which are needed for clotting, the Vatican said in a late update.
«The Holy Father's condition continues to be critical, therefore, as explained yesterday (Friday), the pope is not out of danger,» the statement said. It was the first time «critical» had been used in a written statement to describe Francis' condition since he was hospitalized Feb. 14.
The statement also said that the pontiff «continues to be alert and spent the day in an armchair although in more pain than yesterday.» Doctors declined to offer a prognosis, saying it was «reserved.»
Doctors have said Francis' condition is touch-and-go, given his age, fragility and pre-existing lung disease.
