An exemplary line holder comprises a sheet having creases that extend between opposing sides and define a plurality of panels. The creases are foldable in alternating opposite directions such that the sheet is foldable along the creases between an open configuration and a pleated configuration. The line holder further comprises aligned groups of holes that are arranged along a direction substantially transverse to the creases, with each aligned group of holes comprising one hole in each of the panels. The line holder further comprises slots, each connecting a pair of the holes and intersecting one of the creases. When the sheet is in the pleated configuration, each aligned group of holes forms a corridor through the panels, and the slots are aligned to form pathways extending from the intersected creases to the corridors, such that medical lines can be inserted into the corridors.

1. A line holder for organizing multiple elongate medical lines for a patient, the line holder comprising: a sheet of foldable material;a plurality of creases in the sheet of material, the creases extending between two opposing side edges of the sheet of material and defining a plurality of sheet panels separated by the creases, the creases being foldable in alternating opposite directions such that the sheet of material is capable of being folded along the creases between an open configuration in which the panels are spaced from one another and a compact pleated configuration in which the panels abut one another;a plurality of aligned groups of holes in the sheet of material, the aligned groups of holes being arranged along a direction substantially transverse to the creases, each aligned group of holes comprising one hole in each of the panels, wherein when the sheet of material is in the pleated configuration each aligned group of holes forms a corridor through the plurality of panels; anda plurality of slots in the sheet of material, each slot connecting a pair of the holes of one of the aligned group of holes and intersecting one of the creases between the pair of holes, wherein when the sheet of material is in the pleated configuration the slots are aligned to form pathways extending from the intersected creases to the corridors, the pathways being configured to allow medical lines to be inserted into the corridors, whereby the line holder is capable of being folded into a looped configuration such that the corridors form annular tracks. 2. The line holder of claim 1, wherein the sheet of material comprises a resiliently deformable material. 3. The line holder of claim 1, wherein when the sheet of material is in the pleated configuration, the pathways are configured to be resiliently deformed to allow entry of medical lines into the respective corridors. 4. The line holder of claim 2, wherein when the line holder resiliently expands from the pleated configuration with a medical line inserted into a corridor, the line holder locks the medical line into the corridor. 5. The line holder of claim 1, further comprising removable indicators coupled to the sheet of material, each of the removable indicators comprising indicia corresponding to a respective one of the aligned groups of holes. 6. The line holder of claim 5, wherein the removable indicators are color coded with the respective aligned groups of holes. 7. The line holder of claim 1, wherein the sheet of material comprises at least five creases and six panels, and each aligned group of holes comprises at least three pairs of holes. 8. The line holder of claim 1, wherein the plurality of aligned groups of holes comprises at least six aligned groups of holes. 9. The line holder of claim 1, wherein the sheet of material is impervious to liquids. 10. The line holder of claim 1, wherein the sheet of material is coated with a drug or an antimicrobial agent. 11. The line holder of claim 1, wherein the two opposing side edges of the sheet of material comprise a first side and a second side, and wherein the line holder is foldable into a curved configuration with the panels compressed together to a first extent on the first side of the sheet and with the panels compressed together to a lesser extent on the second side of the sheet. 12. The line holder of claim 1, wherein the line holder is foldable into an arched configuration with the intersected creases being folded to a greater extent that the other creases. 13. The line holder of claim 12, wherein the line holder is foldable into a loop, such that excess medical line length can be taken up by wrapping it around the line holder. 14. The line holder of claim 1, further comprising at least two medical lines inserted into the corridors, wherein the medical lines comprise both fluid lines and electrical lines. 15. A system for organizing medical lines for a patient, comprising: a plurality of medical lines, each having an origin end away from the patient and a connection point at the patient;a line holder comprising multiple tracks, each track coupled to a respective one of the medical lines at three or more intermediate points between the origin and the connection point, each intermediate point corresponding to a different opening in the line holder, such that the medical lines are held substantially parallel to one another between the intermediate points; anda plurality of tabs that are color-coded with respective tracks of the line holder, the tabs being removable from the line holder and attachable to the medical lines that are coupled to the tracks of the same color wherein the line holder is foldable to a pleated configuration for insertion and removal of the medical lines, and expandable to a locked configuration wherein each of the medical lines is mechanically held by the line holder at three or more spaced apart engagement portions of the line holder, each engagement portion comprising two openings connected by a slot that is narrower than the openings, whereby the line holder is capable of being folded into a looped configuration such that the tracks form annular tracks.
