Rediseño de un quirófano de gastroenterología aplicando modelado de información de construcción (BIM) en un hospital de tercer nivel en Guayaquil

Abstract

This work addresses the need to modernize the planning of specialized surgical areas using contemporary methodologies that allow for the efficient integration of critical systems in tertiary hospitals. The research aimed to redesign a gastroenterology surgical complex, incorporating a comprehensive approach based on Building Information Modeling (BIM) methodology. The study included the compilation, analysis, and application of national and international regulations related to hospital infrastructure, electrical safety, medical gases, climate control, biosafety, and infection control, in order to guarantee compliance with current technical standards. Based on this regulatory analysis, the functional reorganization of the surgical area was developed, implementing a double-aisle system for clean and dirty circulation, as well as the proper integration of the architectural, hospital electrical, medical gas, HVAC, lighting, and telecommunications systems. The three-dimensional modeling was developed in Autodesk Revit, enabling interdisciplinary coordination, clash detection, and technical validation of the design before its implementation. As a result, a technically viable proposal was obtained that improves operational efficiency, optimizes workflows, and strengthens the safety of patients and healthcare personnel, demonstrating that the application of BIM constitutes a strategic tool for the modernization of specialized surgical complexes.
