The present invention relates to a tracheal ventilation apparatus (1), in particular a tracheostomy cannula or an endotracheal tube, having a cannula tube (2), which has a proximal tube portion (3) with a proximal opening (3a) and a distal tube portion (4) with a distal opening (4a). In order to provide an easy-to-handle tracheal ventilation apparatus that can easily be inserted and that impedes a swallowing process as little as possible, in which tracheal ventilation apparatus the risk of injuring the tracheal wall is reduced, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the proximal tube portion (3) and the distal tube portion (3) are connected to one another by way of an axially air-permeable joint (7) that facilitates at least restricted mobility and, in particular, pivotability of the axis of the distal tube portion (4) with respect to the axis of the proximal tube portion (3).
