description <h4>Introduction</h4> With the widespread use of one-lung ventilation (OLV) in thoracic surgery, it is unclear whether maintenance anesthetics such as propofol and inhaled anesthetics are associated with postoperative complications. The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of propofol and inhaled anesthetics on postoperative complications in OLV patients. <h4>Methods</h4> PubMed, EMBASE, Medline, and Cochrane Library were searched for relevant randomized controlled trials until 09/2021. All randomized controlled trials comparing the effect of propofol versus inhaled anesthetics on postoperative complications in OLV patients were included. All randomized controlled trials comparing:(a) major complications (b) postoperative pulmonary complications (c) postoperative cognitive function (MMSE score) (d) length of hospital stay (e) 30-day mortality, were included. <h4>Results</h4> Thirteen randomized controlled trials involving 2522 patients were included in the analysis. Overall, there was no significant difference in major postoperative complications between the inhaled anesthetic and propofol groups (OR 0.78, 95%CI 0.54 to 1.13, p = 0.19; I2 = 0%). However, more PPCs were detected in the propofol group compared to the inhalation anesthesia group (OR 0.62, 95%CI 0.44 to 0.87, p = 0.005; I2 = 37%). Both postoperative MMSE score (SMD -1.94, 95%CI -4.87 to 0.99, p = 0.19; I2 = 100%) and hospital stay (SMD 0.05, 95%CI -0.29 to 0.39, p = 0.76; I2 = 73%) were similar between the two groups. The 30-day mortality rate was also not significantly different between groups (OR 0.79, 95%CI 0.03 to 18, p = 0.88; I2 = 63%). <h4>Conclusions</h4> In patients undergoing OLV, general anesthesia with inhaled anesthetics reduced PPC compared to propofol, but did not provide clear benefits on other major complications, cognitive function, length of hospital stay, or mortality.
