For undifferentiated strokes, should blood pressure be aggressively managed pre-hospital?

In hemorrhagic strokes (intracerebral hemorrhage or ICH), severely elevated blood pressure has been closely linked to hematoma expansion (Ohwaki et al Stroke 2004) , and early intensive treatment to reduce blood pressure to a target systolic BP of 140 mm Hg can reduce hematoma growth (Anderson et al Stroke 2010, INTERACT trial).
