OK, so it was an overall incidence of 1:15000, but as I recall (haven't read that particular study in a few months), of the six cases of awareness, four involved cardiac cases. In lower risk patients (i.e. not cardiac, OB, or trauma patients, in whom one might intentionally use a lighter anesthetic), the incidence drops to ~1:42000.
