The gravity increases when turning over, which causes side slip; when the patient is unconscious and agitated, the limbs are easy to break free from the fixation, causing turning obstacles, and the gravity increases when turning over, causing side slip;
2. For patients with obvious wound swelling and obesity, when the body is fixed, the friction between the upper and lower bed sheets and the body is reduced, causing obstacles to turning over, and the gravity increases when turning over, causing side slips; for emaciated patients, the body cannot fully contact the bed sheet when turning over Tight fit, leave a gap, and slide sideways with the change of gravity when turning over.
