When an individual has excessive bleeding, their blood is exiting their system faster than blood is being produced and supplied in the body. By supplying saline to the victim, it raises their volume of fluid in their body as well as contributing to keep their blood pressure elevated too in order to help prevent further shock. This is a temporary solution, in order to keep the patient as stable as possible on the way to definitive care such as the hospital. If not re-supplied with actually blood or the bleeding does not subside, they will bleed out, lose oxygen, and die.
