The advantage for medical staff is that the use of positioning pads can reduce the occurrence of motion sickness among medical staff and reduce their workload. At the same time, the use of positioning pads can better assist medical staff in adjusting the patient's position, effectively help patients turn over and move, and improve the efficiency of patient care.

[0003] Currently, most positioning pads on the market are made of gel positioning pads, which have good softness, support, shock absorption and pressure resistance. They can greatly disperse the pressure on the patient's body tissues when the patient is in bed. To a certain extent, they can prevent the occurrence of pressure sores, avoid increasing the patient's pain due to pressure sores, help the patient's recovery, and at the same time improve the patient's quality of life during the treatment process.

[0004] However, for critically ill patients who have been bedridden for a long time and cannot move independently, although the gel positioning pad can reduce the pressure on the patient's body tissues, the patient's body tissues are still under continuous pressure. In the long run, the patient's body tissues will still suffer from ischemia and hypoxia, leading to the formation of pressure sores, affecting the patient's postoperative recovery and quality of life.

[0005] Therefore, based on the above problems, the applicant provides a new intelligent body positioning cushion. Utility Model Content
