Hospital dia cirúrgico: do conceito e caracterização ao projeto de adaptação de uma edificação existente

Abstract

Day Hospitals are defined by ordinance No. 44 (SÃO PAULO. Secretaria Estadual de Saúde, 2001), as the intermediate care between inpatient and outpatient care, to conduct clinical, surgical, diagnostic and therapeutic procedures that requires the patient's stay in unit for at most 12 hours. The subject of "deinstitutionalization" is at study, considering the high cost of prolonged hospitalization and risks to which patient who is exposed to the hospital environment. This paper aims to raise the program needs to a Surgical Day Hospital and apply it in an Architectural Project at an old and unused building: reusing an existing building, where ran a cosmetic surgery clinic in Natal / Brazil. The reuse of buildings is a common concept of sustainability, especially in big cities where there are practically no more unoccupied areas for new construction. Except for the demolition of the pre-existing built or their recycling, regeneration, conversion or retrofit. The methodological procedures adopted were: literature review; studies of direct and indirect reference; selection of legal restrictions, through the analysis of existing legislation for the area and the rules for the type of project to be developed; definition of the needs of a surgical day hospital program; discussion of climate variables; reconnaissance of the area around the building of intervention; design of the existing building: draw in CAD the plants given by the architect responsible for the original design; meeting with the cosmetic surgery clinic’s owner; technical visit to the building; Project completion and choice of finishing materials. Finally, the benefits and difficulties to develop a proposal for reuse of a building for hospital use will be presented as a contribution of this thesis.
