The headgear has at least one strap (22,24) extending from each side of the mask, the straps being releasably fastened rearwards of the patient's face to secure the mask. The headgear further includes release means in the form of a pull cord (41) attached to an overlying strap (22) at its region of fastening to the underlying strap (24) and guided forward to be gripped at the front of patient.
