Water, sugar and salt are important in helping the body to function properly. Intravenous fluids (usually shortened to ‘IV’ fluids) are liquids given to replace water, sugar and salt that a patient might need if he/she is ill or having an operation, and can’t eat or drink normally. IV fluids are given straight into a vein through a drip.
