I think the standard advice is to administer O2 in all diving related incidents.  Even if someone has had an O2 tox hit, administering O2 on the surface should not cause any worsening of the condition.  The fitting due to an O2 tox hit is not a problem per se, I believe it is the spitting the reg out that is not condusive to good health.

As higher % of O2 as possible is the recommended procedure and if all you have is EAN36 then it is better than air.
