Overview
- Giuliani, who was admitted Sunday to Good Samaritan Medical Center in West Palm Beach, was put on a ventilator for pneumonia and is now breathing on his own.
- His spokesman said a restrictive airway disease linked to 9/11 dust exposure made the illness more severe and led doctors to use mechanical ventilation.
- He remains listed as critical but stable, with his family and primary medical provider at his side as staff continue close monitoring.
- President Donald Trump praised him on Truth Social, and current and former New York leaders offered public well-wishes after the hospitalization became public.
- Restrictive airway disease limits how much air the lungs can hold because the tissue loses stretch or the chest wall cannot expand, which can worsen infections like pneumonia.
