A ventilation apparatus for treating sleep apnea is provided. A ventilator controlled by a control system may deliver ventilation gas through a ventilation gas delivery circuit to a ventilation catheter and a distal tip on the ventilation catheter. One or more sensors may detect a breathing cycle and the control system may operate the ventilator in synchrony with the breathing cycle. The distal tip may deliver the ventilation gas superiorly from the transtracheal ventilation catheter towards an upper airway, inferiorly from the transtracheal ventilation catheter towards a lung, or a combination of both. The ventilation catheter may be a transtracheal catheter, a trans-oral catheter or a trans-nasal catheter.

L'invention concerne un appareil de ventilation destiné à traiter l'apnée du sommeil. Un ventilateur commandé par un système de commande peut délivrer un gaz de ventilation à travers un circuit d'apport de gaz de ventilation à un cathéter de ventilation et à une pointe distale de cathéter de ventilation. Un ou plusieurs capteurs peuvent détecter un cycle de respiration et le système de commande peut faire fonctionner le ventilateur synchronisé avec le cycle de respiration. La pointe distale peut apporter le gaz de ventilation en haut, du cathéter de ventilation transtrachéal aux voies aériennes supérieures et, en bas, du cathéter de ventilation transtrachéal vers un poumon, ou dans une combinaison des deux. Le cathéter de ventilation peut être un cathéter transtrachéal, un cathéter buccal ou un cathéter nasal.
