[The majority of trauma deaths are due to severe brain injury or a dangerous condition resulting from blood loss called hypovolemic shock. Hypovolemic shock can progress within a matter of one or two hours to organ failure and death.
The patient may feel dizzy, faint, nauseated, or very thirsty. Significantly decreased systolic blood pressure, decreased level of consciousness, anxiety and mental confusion, and cold and pale skin are all indicative of Stage 4 hypovolemic shock, which indicates a loss of 40% or more of total blood volume. Severe shock, lactic acidosis, and death occur if blood loss exceeds 40% to 50% of plasma volume.
Emergency oxygen should be immediately employed to increase the efficiency of the patient's remaining blood supply. Blood transfusions coupled with surgical repair are the definitive treatment for hypovolemia caused by trauma.
The information flows through his head as if he's reading it out of a book. Conan doesn't question it; he just acts, securing the last bandage and running back into the infirmary. He doesn't have the tools for a blood transfusion, but maybe...
Yes! The Mansion's being good to them tonight: there's a small oxygen tank with mask sitting over in the corner. It's heavy and almost as big as he is, but Conan determinedly drags it back over to the wounded prisoner. If a transfusion can't be made, getting oxygen to the remaining blood is the next best thing.
Conan turns the gas on and presses the mask right to Kaito's mouth without even bothering with the straps. Hopefully this will stave off the worst of the shock]

It's oxygen. Breathe deep.
