Also need to remember that steroids are positively harmful if given too early. Most of the benefits of steroids are seen in those on mechanical ventilation, borderline mild benefit in those needing oxygen ie oxygen saturations <92% on air and possibly harmful in those not needing oxygen.
There is most definitely a major clinical need to trial SNG in the group - pre-mechanical ventilation for whom steroids of marginal benefit and possible harm.
