The Saturn is a workstation intended to aid the process of preoperative, surgical, and postoperative procedures/phases. This device was made in 2002 but has surged in use since 2020 because of COVID-19. Any device connected to the same network as the Dräger Saturn can share cases to fasten the process inside the hospital. This device also generates standard reports that can be printed or saved to a report to help build long-lasting care and answers. This device can be identified as a rolling ventilator with two air pipelines, three draws, and the blue “Saturn Evo” sign on the front of the machine.
