Platypnea-orthdeoxia syndrome (POS) is a clinical scenario where patient get breathless while sitting or standing. Its important causes are cardiac shunts, hepatopulmonary syndrome and pulmonary ventilation perfusion mismatch. During this pandemic as cases of pulmonary fibrosis increased, we find POS as one of the important cause of morbidity during recovery. Early recognition of this will decrease the morbidity and unrealistic expectation of fast recovery.

平卧呼吸-直立性低氧血症综合征（POS）是一种临床情况，即患者在坐立或站立时会感到呼吸困难。其重要病因包括心脏分流、肝肺综合征和肺通气灌注不匹配。在此次大流行期间，随着肺纤维化病例的增加，我们发现POS是康复期间发病的重要原因之一。早期识别这一点将降低发病率，并减少对快速康复的不切实际期望。
