Pressure areas such as the back and buttocks are prone to bedsores. Therefore, such patients must turn over frequently to relieve local pressure. However, helping patients turn over requires the assistance of multiple people. For example, when turning the patient along the axis, four to five people are needed to assist. This increases a lot of workload for nursing staff. Moreover, for people who are not familiar with nursing, the operation process is not only troublesome and laborious, but may also cause discomfort to the patient if not careful.

[0003] The utility model disclosed a turning air cushion with the publication number of CN203988790U. The turning air cushion of the utility model comprises: an air cushion pillow and a main body cushion; the main body cushion comprises an upper cushion body, a heating pad located below the upper cushion body, a support plate located below the heating pad and a lower cushion body located below the support plate, the upper cushion body comprises a plurality of inflatable tubes arranged in parallel on the same plane, each inflatable tube has at least one vent, and the entire upper cushion body is detachable; the support plate comprises two supporting sub-plates arranged in parallel on the same plane, and the distribution direction of the supporting sub-plates is perpendicular to the distribution direction of the inflatable tubes; the lower cushion body comprises two sub-air cushions; the upper cushion body and the lower cushion body cannot be inflated at the same time, but when the air cushion is used, the adjustability is low, and the patient can only be turned over longitudinally.
