5.During the performance of a supraclavicular node biopsy under local anesthesia, a hissing sound is suddenly heard, and the patient suddenly dies. At the time of the catastrophic event, the target node was under traction, and the final cut was being made blindly behind it to free it up completely. The patient, an otherwise healthy 24-year-old man, was inhaling at that moment. Which of the following most likely caused this patient's death?
A. Arterial injury with air embolization
B. Major vein injury with air embolism
C. Sudden pneumothorax with lung collapse
D. Sympathetic discharge
E. Tracheal injury
