Normal saline (0.9% sodium chloride solution) is what we call isotonic, meaning it has the same concentration of sodium and other solutes as your body fluids. Since water moves from an area of lower concentration to an area of higher concentration, an infusion of normal saline will not result in changes in fluid movement into or out of your bloodstream and cells.
Water is hypotonic, meaning the concentration of dissolved solutes is less than that of your body fluids and cells. The effect an infusion of water would be to cause water movement out of circulation and into your cells. If cells are not dehydrated, this would cause them to swell, and even burst. We do use IV solutions, for example, D5W (5% dextrose in water) to treat dehydration as well as low blood sugar.

Hi mate...
Here is my answer to your question
You can see the saline In the picture :)
Saline, also known as saline solution, is a mixture of sodium chloride in water and has a number of uses in medicine. Applied to the affected area it is used to clean wounds, help remove contact lenses, and help with dry eyes. By injection into a vein it is used to treat dehydration such as from gastroenteritis and diabetic ketoacidosis. It is also used to dilute other medications to be given by injection.
Large amounts may result in fluid overload, swelling, acidosis, and high blood sodium. In those with long standing low blood sodium excessive use may result in osmotic demyelination syndrome. Saline is in the crystalloid family of medications. It is most commonly used as a sterile 9 g of salt per litre (0.9%) solution, known as normal saline. Higher and lower concentrations may also occasionally be used. Saline has a pH of 5.5 making it acidic.
The medical use of saline began around 1831. It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines, the most effective and safe medicines needed in a health system. The wholesale cost in the developing world is about 0.60 to 4.20 USD per liter of normal saline.
