When administering antibiotics through a PICC line, you typically use the blue lumen. The blue lumen is generally designated for infusions and medications, while the red lumen is often reserved for blood draws or blood product administration. However, always follow your institution's protocols and the manufacturer's guidelines for specific applications.

Double lumen PICC line colors and what they mean?
Double-lumen PICC lines come in two colors. Red is the blood access lumen or arterial lumen and blue is the blood return lumen or venous lumen. Despite the names, neither lumen is leads to an artery, but both lead into a vein.
Why does a picc line have a blue and red port?
A PICC line (Peripherally Inserted Central Catheter) often has a blue port and a red port to denote different uses for each line. The blue port typically represents the distal lumen, which is generally used for infusions and blood draws, while the red port represents the proximal lumen, often used for medication administration or other specific purposes. This color-coding helps healthcare providers quickly identify the correct port to use, reducing the risk of errors during treatment.
Lumen is the size of red blood cells?
Lumen refers to the inner space within a tubular structure such as a blood vessel or intestine, through which substances pass. It is not a measure of size like red blood cells but rather the open space within the structure. Red blood cells are typically around 6-8 micrometers in diameter, much larger than the lumen of small blood vessels.
