Hi Maxime,
Perhaps you are, what is called in the USA, a Respiratory Therapist. Here is a job description:
What is a Respiratory Therapist?
Respiratory therapists perform procedures that are both diagnostic and therapeutic.
Some of these activities include:

Diagnosis
Obtaining and analyzing sputum and breath specimens. They also take blood specimens and analyze them to determine levels of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and other gases.
Interpreting the data obtained from these specimens.
Measuring the capacity of a patient's lungs to determine if there is impaired function.
Performing stress tests and other studies of the cardiopulmonary system.
Studying disorders of people with disruptive sleep patterns.

Treatment
Operating and maintaining various types of highly sophisticated equipment to administer oxygen or to assist with breathing.
Employing mechanical ventilation for treating patients who cannot breathe adequately on their own.
Monitoring and managing therapy that will help a patient recover lung function.
Administering medications in aerosol form to help alleviate breathing problems and to help prevent respiratory infections.
Monitoring equipment and patient responses to therapy.
Conducting rehabilitation activities, such as low-impact aerobic exercise classes, to help patients who suffer from chronic lung problems.
Maintaining a patient's artificial airway, one that may be in place to help the patient who can't breathe through normal means.
Conducting smoking cessation programs for both hospital patients and others in the community who want to kick the tobacco habit.


Education and Training
There are two levels of respiratory therapist: the certified respiratory therapist and the registered respiratory therapist.

Respiratory therapists are required to complete either a two-year associate's degree or a four-year baccalaureate degree. Upon graduation they are eligible to take a national voluntary examination that, upon passing, leads to the credential Certified Respiratory Therapist (CRT).

Subsequently they may take two more examinations that leads to the Registered Respiratory Therapist (RRT) credential.

More than 400 community colleges and universities nationwide offer respiratory care programs.

All aspiring respiratory therapists must take courses in physics, mathematics, microbiology, anatomy and physiology, chemistry, and biology.

Assuming you're not a US citizen (or related to one), the chances that you will be allowed to work in the US are very slim, unless you have special qualifications.
