Abstract: A ventilation assembly (37) for use in ventilation of a subject using a laryngeal mask (5) comprises a head-wearable harness (39) and a pusher (41). The harness is arrangeable on the subject's head (H) for supporting the pusher to press against the floor of the mouth (15) of the subject (P). The pusher comprises laterally opposite protrusions to displace, in use and operably supported by the harness on the subject (P), soft tissue of the subject at the left and right submandibular triangles (trigonum submandibulare) in cranial direction relative to the mandible (29) of the subject and surrounding tissue of the subject such as the submental triangle (trigonum submentale) for, when the laryngeal mask is installed in the airway of the subject, urging internal soft tissue of the subject against the laryngeal mask in the airway of the subject. Each protrusion or the pusher as a whole is hollow providing a recess for accommodating an operators' finger.
