In 1964, ErdH{o}s, Hajnal and Moon introduced a saturation version of Turans classical theorem in extremal graph theory. In particular, they determined the minimum number of edges in a $K_r$-free, $n$-vertex graph with the property that the addition of any further edge yields a copy of $K_r$. We consider analogues of this problem in other settings. We prove a saturation version of the ErdH{o}s-Szekeres theorem about monotone subsequences and saturati
