Early administration of dexamethasone could reduce duration of mechanical ventilation and overall mortality in patients with established bilateral pulmonary infiltrates on chest imaging (x-ray or CT scan); absence of left atrial hypertension, pulmonary capillary wedge pressure of less than 18 mm Hg, or no clinical signs of left Dexamethasone crosses the placenta
