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.
