PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect a patient from bedsores.SOLUTION: In cases where a patient is laid in a face-up position on a main mattress 2 consisting of an air mattress or an urethane mattress and a carer changes a body position of the patient, when the carer operates a left or right body position changing switch of an operation part 26, a control box 27 drives an air pump 15 and opens valves 22 to 24 or valves 22, 23 and 25, and knees and a left or right shoulder of the patient are raised by a left-knee air cell 8, a right-knee air cell 9 and a left-shoulder air cell 10 or the left-knee air cell 8, the right-knee air cell 9 and a right-shoulder air cell 11 that are inflated by compressed air supplied from the air pump 15. Therefore, the carer can easily turn a body of the patient and can change the body position in such a way as to raise the back and knees of the patient without raising waist of the patient from the main mattress 2. Accordingly, it is possible to protect a sacral region of the patient that is susceptible to bedsores. |
