Colors used to identify IV sets usage?

[jorogume]

Hi, everyone. Actually I'm not a Clinician but I'm very interested in solving some question and I'm sure you can help me.... ....here is the first one:

I've seen sets for monitoring systems with different colors to identify the different lines(arterial, pulmonary... ). Is this also used for I.V. sets, I mean, are there colors to identify the sets for anesthesia, anticoagulants, etc. ???

No colour coding on lines here. Most solutions can be programmed into our pumps and label themselves, but I also still label the bag, the tubing between the bag and the pump and the tubing at the entry points and any y-site or stopcock sites.

Basically I label the crap out of my lines. Better safe than sorry.
