As posted above, most places that did IVs only did it after making sure that the person consulted with their doctor as well as their rav.
People that are not able to fast do not get IV,IV fluids is just normal saline not other nutrients that they need.
Its mainly done to help people that would otherwise fast, yet have a difficult time fasting, keeping them hydrated makes it easier for them to fast.
