This is a relatively simple and quick means of counteracting obstructive sleep apnea. However, it is too painful for some patients to tolerate, and other patients may not be able to tolerate it under certain circumstances, such as when having a cold or sinus trouble. It consists of lubricating a nasal tube and sticking it up one’s own nose for the night. The tube is designed to be threaded through the nasal passage and down through the throat and help prevent obstructions to airflow.

If that's the same guy, his website has info on Tracheotomy, he's had several versions of trach tubes installed. Don't recall his whole story but it looks like he's had a difficult life.
