The resmed titration adjustment guide also recommends raising the min/static pressure 1cm at a time on page 24, for partial obstructions like Hypopnea, RERAs and snoring
"Increase CPAP ≥1 cm H2O every ≥5 mins for obstructive apneas, hypopneas, RERAs and at least 3 min of loud or unambiguous snoring" https://www.resmed.com/us/dam/documents/...er_eng.pdf

For auto-cpap, from machine data or software. You can set the min pressure 1 or 2cm below 95%. Or clinicians commonly use the maximum or 95% pressure for fixed pressure CPAP, this can also be used for min pressure. https://aasm.org/resources/practiceparam...rating.pdf

Looking at detailed zoomed view of typical RERAs you will see arrousal/Recovery breathing. Medical standards state that waveform analysis may be used in lieu of full PSG to determine RERAs.
