The human body is constantly losing water through urine and sweat. Under normal circumstances, these fluids are replaced by the water we drink, however, frequent urination, viruses causing diarrhea and vomiting, excessive sweating, heat stroke, and burns can cause the body to become dehydrated. If this happens it is necessary to replace these fluids, and the best way to do it is through IV fluid replacement therapy.
Some antibiotic treatments need to be administered through an IV, either to bypass the gastrointestinal tract and deliver medication more quickly or because the dosage required is too high to be taken orally.

There are several reasons why an emergency physician will prescribe intravenous fluid or antibiotic therapy for a patient, the most frequent scenarios are:
In the case of antibiotics, severe infections may require high doses of them, making it impossible to administer orally, by mixing the antibiotic with a saline solution, the medication enters directly into the bloodstream where it will quickly reach the affected areas, swift action can prevent the infection from getting worse or spreading to other parts of the body.
