It depends on what the IV is being used for. Most IV's start with a large amount of sterile, pure water then different electrolytes are added to give the IV fluid its properties that make it work on the body the way the doctor needs it to. The IV might also contain dextrose, a sugar needed by the body for fuel. There might also be different medications that are added to the IV fluid so those medications can be slowly administered to the patient.
