I’m guessing a saline drip is quite a lot less saline than sea water. I’f the drip is not saline enough you’ll lose salts and nutriens from your cells, but if it’s too saline it’ll strip out the water and worsen the dehydration.
Probably better off drinking tiger pee. At least it’ll give you magic powers.
One solution I heard about was to give yourself an enema with the bilge water from the boat, this is often largely made up rainwater and condensation, this way you can absorb some of the water with a slightly reduced risk of the bugs and contaminants in the water doing you in.
