2 new paramedic and prehospital papers from the 1 May 2026 scan.

• Overshooting BP targets worsens ICH outcomes

  Annals of Emergency Medicine · Cohort · Context only

  Retrospective cohort testing whether rapid systolic BP reduction ≤150 mm Hg after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage improved outcomes — early target achievement and overshooting <120 mm Hg were associated with worse functional outcome.

• Normal CT safely rules out delayed bleed on anticoagulants

  Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine · Cohort · Hypothesis-generating

  Retrospective review tested whether immediate discharge after normal CT was safe for anticoagulated head-injury patients with GCS 14-15 — no delayed intracranial haemorrhage, neurosurgical intervention, or clinically significant deterioration occurred.
