For a ventilating appliance (1) consisting of a ventilating device (2) havingan air outletchannel (3) and an air inlet channel (4), two hoses (5, 6) which are connectedto one ofthe two channels (3, 4) of the ventilating device (2), an air distributor (7),on which threeopenings (8, 9, 10) are provided, which are coupled to one of the two hoses(5, 6) of theventilating device (2) and to a tube (11) which can be inserted into the mouthor nosespace (22) of a living being (21), shall the ventilating appliance (1) beimproved that apatient to be ventilated undergoes a release of mucus and its removed from thelung areawith cost-effective measures, without the need for foreign objects orswitching off theventilating appliance (1). This is solved in that a respiratory tract therapydevice (31) isinserted in the inhalation hose (5), in that an air flow (12) is generated bythe ventilatingdevice (2), through which an intermittent air pressure fluctuation arises withthe respiratorytract therapy device (31), and in that the air pressure fluctuations generatedin this wayare passed on or transmitted in the lung region (23) of the living being (21).
