Best Answer

Pure water would reduce the concentration of salts in the blood and cause the breakdown of some blood cells. Intravenous solutions usually contain salt or other compounds (such as dextrose) and should only be slightly hypotonic (for dehydration).

If a large amount of water dilutes the blood serum, it can cause edema (fluid buildup) in the tissues of the heart, lungs, and brain.
